I think you'd have to be high on drugs to do what they did......
Yes, other news services have this, although they say some rather than all.
What worries me is that someone is going to say that "it was their drug addiction that made them kill the children.."
Coalition troops have seized $30 million worth of heroin intended for sale on Iraqi streets by rebel cleric Muqtada al-Sadr's militia, the former commander of the 9,000-strong Polish force in south-central Iraq says.
Lt. Gen. Mieczyslav Bieniek said the militia was using the drug profits "to pay for action" against coalition forces and that some members of the Mahdi's Army were "under the influence [while] fighting us."
The Polish commander was in Washington last week and said that the heroin trade was so pervasive that militia members were known as the "pink army" — named after the red plastic bags they use to peddle the drugs.
Military reports from southern Iraq, as well as State Department and Iraqi sources, have said militants also were using and selling amphetamines in Najaf and Baghdad.
Their customers are mainly Iraqi civilians, but officials do not rule out that some of the drugs have reached coalition troops. Marijuana and hashish also are readily available across Iraq.

Grain of salt caveats are indicated here.
Note the lack of mention of the recovery of any drug
paraphernalia, such as syringes.
This could be just the Russians trying to explain to
themselves why anyone would do this.
Recall that during the Soviet era, communism was "rational",
and thus anyone who opposed it was crazy, so dissidents
often found themselves committed to mental institutions,
where various "therapies" would be forcibly applied to
attempt to "cure" their diseased thinking.
The leadership must think that the modern Russian just
can't accept that such monstrous acts would arise from
mere ideas, ergo, there has to be another explanation.
Lame theory. I'll bet it is much more complicated than that. The war on terror meets the war on drugs -- it's international.
Beslan Terrorists "Were High on Drugs"
...and now they're low in hell.
No chance the heroin came from occupied Afganastan........
We know why they killed, tortured and terrorized...drugs had nothing to do with it...
Ohhh, they were high on drugs! I guess that makes it okay...
What a combination, the Qur'ran and Hard Drugs. Makes for a strange breed of 'Holymen' doesn't it. Mind control of the 21st century.
The more Islam gets uncovered, the more corrupt it seems.
