Moskow Hostages rescued
BBC World Service

Posted on 10/25/2002 10:22:57 PM PDT by Iris7

BBC World Service reports that the Russians have gone in to rescue the hostages taken by Islamist terrorists held in a Moscow theater. Earlier reports spoke of as many as eight hundred hostages were being held. Early reports are of ten dead hostages. If this is all, it is a miracle. This happened about 20 or 30 minutes ago. The Spetsnatz are making sure there is no escape for the terrorists. God be praised! This is all I have.
