6:20 AM (moscow time) automatic was heard, a minute after - two explosions
There are not 354 hostages, as was reported before, but 354 families!
This is according to the released hostages.
Terrorists are still refusing food, water and other supplies for the hostages.
One of the freed hostages, Zalina Dzandorva told the following:
There were a lot of wounded right away, those who could not walk on their own
were finished off. All the men who tried to resist were killed (around 20). Some wounded
were taken out from the gym and shot in the hallway.
Initially, the terorrists allowed (tap) water to be distributed among the hostages,
but then frustrated with the leaders of Ingushetia and North Osetia not meeting them,
they would not even give water to children.
The Zalina Dzandorva is also saying that 2 of the women with suicide belts blew
themselves up in the hallway where men were being held....
Gun shots and grenade launchers were being fired 40 minutes ago. There's some
information that one of the gunmen is a notorious terorrist. Possibly Doka Umarov,
but right now he is asked to be called "Goretz".

has more with Zalina Dzandorova (one of the free hostages). She's saying there are up to 1,500 hostages inside the schools. Hostages are, basically, one on top of the other in the gym. Windows had to be knocked out to allow more air in.
There are about 30 male terrorists. There were, also, 2 female terrorists with suicide belts, but they blew themselves up
in the school's hallway, which held some of the male hostages. After their exploded, the male terrorists said that their "sisters" were "victiorious".
Terrorists are not taking off their masks, but claim to be chechen. They told the hostages that they want russian troops out of Chechnya, and also that their children were killed by russians and they have nothing to loose.
