BREAKING NEWS Moscow's radio station "Echo" is reporting that they received a call from a man claiming to be Movladi Udugov (Chechen "rebel"'s official spokesman). He claims that this is an "operation" done by the people of Arbi Barayev (he's chechen warlord, however russians claimed they killed him over a year go). He went on to say that the theater was taken over by 40 "smertnikov" (basically kamikazes), also claimed that the theater was wired with bombs and will be blown up if russians try to storm it. Again, it's still not confirmed if the man was actually Udugov.
