And the mayor knew this how? And before everyone else and before the thing was really over. You have to account for the politics over there. Perhaps the mayor is a Putin opponent and was trying to raise the specter of the hospital seige (Chechens again) where 130 were killed during the rescue. Odd how he chose THAT number again. Must have been a coincidence.
