I read that three terrorists have already been found amoung the hostage survivors.

...describing the gas used only as a "special substance".

Could it have been exhaust fumes from any passing Russian automobile?

Given the scope of the attack by the terrorists and that all hostages could have been killed, I believe the Russian use of gas was both clever and saved many lives. They also should take time to search through survivors for hidden terrorists. None should escape a swift, public execution.

This was no "siege" at all. The "armed vermine"(c)putin were finished in less than 15 minutes and faught about as hard as a girls high school chess team. The more acurate terms would be Decimation, Liquidation, Laughable Defeat, Hilarious loss.

Nothing I saw in moscow lives up to the following definition:

siege Pronunciation Key (sj) n.

1) The surrounding and blockading of a city, town, or fortress by an army attempting to capture it.
2) A prolonged period, as of illness: a siege of asthma.
3) Obsolete. A seat, especially a throne.

Maybe something as simple as carbon monoxide? Odorless, colorless, unconsciousness before death, loss of judgement well before that. Critical cases treatable with hyperbaric chambers which they had plenty of time to bring in in quantity.

At least 390 freed hostages remained in hospital on Sunday, many in a serious condition after being overcome by the mystery substance.

Reality check...
The same intellectually-challenged who maintain that we can "negotiate" ourselves out of the current epidemic of Muslim Mass Murder are predictably hand-wringing and wailing that all the hostages were not safely extracted.

Reality check:
The muslim roaches had wired the entired theater with explosives.
Many of the rats were wired with body explosives.
Had they been "palestinians" the mayhem and destruction wuld have been immediate and total.

That over 700 were saved should be cause for rejoicing.
The alternative was real.

Does it matter what gas was used to effect the rescue?
Do we revisit "safer bullets" here?

Has the world IQ plummeted while I wasn't looking?
