MOSCOW (AP) — Armed men entered a Moscow theater Wednesday and took the audience hostage, the Federal Security Service said.

The theater was holding a performance of the musical Nord-Ost, one of the Russian capital's most popular productions.

The Interfax news agency said one of its reporters was inside the theater at the time of the raid. She told them in a telephone call that the men had fired into the air and were preventing the audience from leaving, the agency said.

Police units were on their way to the scene.

You can always tell a mohammedan. Every other sentence is said in a high-pitched voice, and ends with "I svere to God, we peace-loving."

Basically, I think they all figure if they don't cover it, it's not really happening.

I think they do this country a disservice by not letting everyone know what we're actually facing.

Don't want to upset people any more than they are.

They might think this is a worldwide struggle against the jihadis or something.

I just e-mailed Fox News and told them that their lack of quality reporting is causing me to question my loyalty to their network.

...I trust that no Christian would target a Muslim just because of the religion.

The first (and only) time anything happens to my family from a Wahabbist pig..........I will act responsibly.........you figure it out.

I almost missed it. It showed a child that was released earlier.

>>>>>>No, you're right, there were no demonstrations, but there was an outpouring of support.<<<<<<<

Link me to one story.

You won't be able to. The "outpouring of support" is pure Bravo Sierra.

I am just as angry about the Islamofascists as you are. I just don't perceive all Muslims as Islamofascist.

Fox just did their 10 second spot on this story and said they would keep us informed as this story develops.
Good Grief!...It's been 'developing' for hours. Cover it, already.

You might have been a bit premature. Shep just talked about the hostage situation in Russia. He also mentioned the Chechien situation and said that Putin has called an emergency meeting of --the politburo(?).

Yeah - we can camp out Moose and air his statement from the previous day for eight straight hours -- but here "We'll keep you posted..".

OK, if you think I am lying, fine. I won't argue with people whose minds are closed. No sense banging my head against a brick wall.

I don't think so-- their coverage of it lasted less than the time it took for me to write the two line e-mail.
