It is being reported that the Russian government is planning to use force to end the crisis. Because of the breakdown in talks, the terrorists plan to start executing hostages as of 6:00 am tomorrow.

18:20 All journalists are told to leave the scene. The elite Alpha anti-terrorist unit is brought in.

My wife and I will leave tomarrow for Moscow. We are adopting a baby girl from an orphanage in Stavropol.

Congratulations and God bless you!

I listened a bit to the Islam Apologist Diane Reihm this morning doing her weekly "news roundup" with giggly Kristol and some others. The two topics that really got her riled up were:
1. we are still holding the hostages in Gitmo -- just think of their poor relatives back in Arabia...
2. Bush and Cheney haven't turned over the Haliburton papers.

[timpad]

Never thought I'd be praying for the success of Russian special forces...

Strange days indeed...best wishes and God speed the Spetznaz troopers of Alpha force, our latest allies in the war against Islamist terror.

[Tunehead54]

find this quite unbelievable....virtually no coverage on radio...they are still discussing sniper.....why the blackout of news coverage? I don't get it.

Prolly cause they don't want the sheeple to put two and two together and discover that muslims are a murderous, 4th century, duplicitous, swarm of cockroaches engaged in similiar activity the world over that need to be eradicated soonest. One of those "its either them or us" kind of things.

Yob tvoyu maht, terrorists!

[Paradox]

God Bless these people, and the Russians who are having to do something about it. I feel a real kinship towards these people that I would have never imagined during the Cold War.

All along, while they may have been the "Evil Empire", at least they were rational people who wanted to live. Radical Islam is a death cult, a real enemy to those of us who love life.

[Naspino]

A second reminder. We've been discussing this since Wednesday afternoon.

Todays Hostage Commentary Thread

[hchutch]

I think the CT guys going in are worthy of their own thread...

[timpad]

From AP: Two women in the group of rebels wore robes with Arabic script on the head coverings. Only their eyes were exposed, and they cradled pistols against their chests.

I would agree that for most Chechen, this conflict is about their opting out of the Motherland. But this bunch in the theater sure have a familiar smell, eh?

[laconic]

The fact that the scum were able to do this, ride up to a theater in armed Jeeps dressed in rags not far from the center of Moscow indicates that they had help there. Moscow will be turned upside down (and not just by the police) once this is over.

Looked like she was dragged out by two older medical doctors who apparently didn't have the strength to carry her out.

More violence from Muslims. Islam is a peaceful religion as long as the women are beaten, the boys buggered, and the infidels killed. When will the liberal media wake up to see that Islam has declared a World War against everyting non-Muslim. May Allah be damned to the hell Muslims wish to create on earth.

[Smogger]

It will be a bloodbath if they try it. The 20+ terrorist inside are armed to the teeth with automatic weapons, hand grenades, and RPG's. Apparently they are being led by Movsarom Barayevym who has already been killed twice by Russian special forces. He is an expert with mines and they have mined the entire building. As well as having attached explosives to the first floor supports. They are wearing explosive belts. A hostage from inside called NTV and begged them not to storm the building.

Just pray for all the hostages.

[Jasonconley]

There have already been reports of Caucasians being beat up by Russians.

Thanks...

Where's UN approval to go into Chechnya?

Yet they block us at the UN in our attempt to protect ourselves. As long as they want to endanger me through their political games they are no "friend" to me.


I'll do my best Al Gore here:

"Others could say they same thing about you since you don't "get it" but I won't..."

Now you have to admit, that's pretty good "Gore"...

[hchutch]

Will do.

Also praying for the guys who will go in.

[babygene]

" Also, a prayer that Muslims everywhere will see that God does not require violence as a demonstration of love for Him."

Their god is not the same God as your God, and does indeed require violence as a demonstration of love for Him.

Incidntally the terrorist are not eating. They will only drink juice and water. At first they refused even that.

It is renovated by 25.10.2002 into 17:55:35
Version for the press/printing

Terrorists asked Politkovskuyu to bring water and juices

The journalist of "new newspaper" Anna Politkovskaya began to transfer into the seized by terrorists building of theatrical center "northeast" juices and water, transfers RTR .

The first assistant of the minister of internal affairs Vladimir Vasil'yev stated "interfaksu" that Politkovskaya and the leader of center medicines of catastrophes Leonid Roshal' agreed with the terrorists about the delivery/procurement to the hostages of hot food and water; however, RTR refines, that until the terrorists nothing assume/take besides water and juices.

They did not permit passing to the building to automobile with the products and the water; therefore Politkovskaya by hand transfers water to the theatrical center.Furthermore, into the building they left medical winder.Probably, it is intended for transportation of one of the hostages, in which they diagnosed the assault of appendicitis.

According to the data of Itar- TASS , into the building entered also director Sergey Govorukhin (son of Stanislav Govorukhin) and assistant of the editor in chief of "literary newspaper" Dmitriy Belovetskiy.They implied several packets with the water and objects/subjects of hygiene.

Let us recall that during the combat operations in Chechne Sergey Govorukhin two years removed/took there film.In 1995 he was injured and lost the part of the foot.
