Thanks very much for the links and info. It's kind of ridiculous that 99% of the information I've been able to get on this story has been from this thread. To the rest of the news services - I guess it's a 'non-story'.

Thanks for good links. I read the most recent UPI release, which said in part:

"The terrorists released several dozen children and told Muslims and natives of the former Soviet Republic of Georgia in the audience that they were free to leave the theater.

A woman released by the gunmen said the terrorists were beating some of the hostages.

"The passages are full of blood," the unidentified woman told the NTV television network. A French diplomat released by the terrorists said the terrorists, particularly the women among the group, were "very aggressive."
