BESLAN, Russia, July 28 (Reuters) - Previously unseen film proves that the bloody end to the 2004 Beslan siege was caused by security forces firing on a school crammed with hostages, not by blasts from within, a victim support group says.

“You don’t negotiate with terrorists. You kill them.”
Negotiation is used to wear down the terrorists and provide the time to effect a proper plan to target the terrorists.
Attacking a school building full of hostages with tank fire and other antipersonel ordinance is lunacy.
Are you a truther? Do you believe in LIHOP or MIHOP for 9/11?
So you are a MIHOP person. Your derangement is parallel to those who think President Bush, sorry -- the BFEE, made 9/11 happen so he could institute fascism in the US. It is nonsense on both sides.
Wonderful - its fortunate that one of the 7 Russian tank rounds or grenades or flame throwers did not kill her as they killed so many of the hostages.

Such as at the Branch Davidian compound in Waco? Or the negotiations that freed the hostages on 9/11?
Beslan info.
I suppose you would have preferred these Americans came back in caskets.
Bush is ignoring the truthers too. Does that make them right about 9/11 being an inside job of the BFEE?
Whats your problem - there is already court testimony where the officials admit that the Russian tanks fired 7 rounds into the school in Beslan - probably killing more than the terrorists.
Are you saying Bush strafed the 86th floor of the WTC while it was burning?
I always wondered about the authenticity of this image.
Why would a hostage disable a hand by wrapping it in the hand like this.
Also, the grit under the nails indicates that this person was clawing thru something - if so, how did the cross emerge pristine and otherwise not ripped off the chain. Mine has broken with a few pounds of pressure.<<<<
If the owner of that hand had a desire to live, when the attack began, they took that cross off their neck and put it in their pocket, to wear it proudly, would have been instant death.
A guess on my part, but it would explain why it is clean and unbroken.
The Families of Nord Ost Theater hostage taking, have also tried to get information and it is denied to them.
now THAT(NOT), was a botched job if i ever saw one...
The interests of the government are often at odds with the interests of the individual.
In this case, the Russian government decided that beating the terrorists was paramount, even at the cost of innocent lives. This is not unusual for most governments: the imperative is “rule at all costs”.
This is why our Founding Fathers revolted.
Fortunately, the Branch Davidians inflicted so much damage that the government achieved only a Pyhrric victory, and was motivated to return to more civilized ways.
