A grim result, but better than the terrorists succeeding outright. I found the length of delays between some of the incidents surprising. Apparently some of the hostages were trying to escape or fighting back, after executions began, but it was several hours before the authorities moved in. They may not have had a clear idea what was happening before then.

"The rebel leader, Movsar Barayev, was among those who died ..."

Should read:

"The Islamic terrorist and homicide bomber, Movsar Barayev, was among those who died...."
