Gazeta ^

I hope the Russians dont screw it up too bad....

[wonders]

voina.ru reports one minute ago, more shooting, some people escaped from the theatre... will update as it becomes available...

[Chairman Fred]

To the Russians:

Do what is necessary. Post 9-11, we understand.

Now, about Saddam Hussein...

[wonders]

voina.ru says that as of two minutes ago, Special Forces inside the building...

Thanks for the updates - in the mean time interesting article Widows Make for Fierce Warriors

about some of the hostage takers.

Heard on Fox a Russian tank is on its way. This is scary stuff.

Omarkhadzhiyeva, a psychologist practicing in Chechnya, said by telephone from Nazran, Ingushetia. "They are in a desperate condition, and in an unfamiliar stressful situation, women -- who are more prone to emotions than men -- have less control of themselves."

[11th_VA]

I assume you're translating ?

[wonders]

Oh no -- three Russian media sources quoting officials as saying the terrorists have begun executing hostages...

[11th_VA]

This must be the final act ...

[wonders]

voina.ru now reporting some hostage were trying to escape -- that's why all the shooting -- Special Forces able to rescue some of the people...

[Lion's Cub]

I don't understand what the heck is the matter with leaders in the west. Putin should have told these a.h.'s that for every hostage they kill he will level a village in Chechnya. This crap will not stop until it costs them more than they can possibly gain.

Fox reporting that 2 women have escaped.

BrooklynGOP moved so let's shift this thread to HERE. He's the translator ...

[wonders]

It seems all very confused right now to me ... all I can do is provide updates from Russian news media as they become available. There is always confusion in news reports during events like this. (Heck, there was so much confusion over that dang sniper, too.)

[tomahawk]

Can you try to translate for us what is being posted at www.voina.ru? My Russian is quite poor.

[wonders]

Thanks, will do... see you there! BTW, my husband has been doing the translating here -- I'm just the typist!

[tomahawk]

Surely you jest. You don't see what is newsworthy about dozens of Islamist terrorists taking over a theater with 700 innocent people inside, threatening to kill them all unless their demands are met? If it happened in your local movie theater, would it be newsworthy?

[hove]

"Will somebody please educate me (I am not being sarcastic) as to why the Russia situation is even considered to be newsworthy? Fill me in as to why everyone is getting excited over this . . . barbarism has gone on over there for decades."

It's simple. The barbarism in Moscow is coming from the same source that is attacking the rest of the world....including America. Islam. Whether it is Christans, Hindus, Russians, Americans........it is Islam that seems to be driving these fanatics to violence against innocent people. I mean we just went through 911 and the sniper.....Islam. Do you even watch the news?
