Fox is now saying 7 dead, 250 wounded..
I just heard 100 bodies found in gym....a sad day...May God comfort the mourning, heal the wounded and may the terrorist meet their deserved fate..death.
I fear it will be more.
This was day three...no food, no water, packed in very crowded conditions with outside temps up to 95 degrees. This is fatigue.
see above..100 bodies reported dead in gym.
Fox also noted a rumor that as many as 100 children/hostages were killed by the roof collapse..
They cautioned, however, that it is not confirmed, and still a rumor...

"live thread "and it is not over..Oh, yeah. FOX News was acting like it was all over earlier.
I just got back from my workout at Bally's and find out that apparently the hostage takers snuck out with some of the hostages and fighting is spread to other areas now ? Did I get that right ?
It looks like not opposing Terrorism in the U.N. doesn't make a country exempt from Terrorism, as they are now finding out .....
They used some of the children as shields, got away and firefights erupted...No new news..I was listening and watching live, first CNN and then Fox was really good..I fear death toll inside school will be high when all is known....This time we had people on the scene and ducking bullets...I posted above the BBC link

This link has a "latest updates" that I'm sure can be refreshed to keep up.
Thanks for the links..
Also, let's not forget... 24 dead when the hostage ordeal started as well..
Latest I've heard is, this started when the terrorists exploded "mines" in the gym to cover their escape in the confusion.. disguised as hostages..
Just wanted to clarify that to everyone.. those 100 died as a result of terrorist actions, not as a result of anything the rescue teams did..
Thank you!I had the mod delete one of my links..
This is exactly what I'm referring to....Of course any hostages, men/women/children alike, do not have a despicable act of terror coming to them....It is their home countries lack of accounting and countering these perpetrators which propels them to the forefront of "easy-targets."
