THE full horror of the Russian school atrocity began to emerge yesterday as traumatised children told horrific tales of stabbed babies and brutal rapes.
It has also emerged that scores of the 323 who died - including many children - had been shot in the back.
While despairing soldiers and rescue workers moved among the growing pile of body bags, it was revealed that an 18-month-old baby had been repeatedly stabbed by a black-clad terrorist who had run out of ammunition.
Other survivors told how screaming teenage girls were dragged into rooms adjoining the gymnasium where they were being held and raped by their Chechen captors who chillingly made a video film of their appalling exploits
They said children were forced to drink their own urine and eat the petals off the flowers they had brought their teachers after nearly three days without food or water in the stifling hot gym.
Their stories came as Russian officials warned that the final death toll of the siege of Middle School No 1 at Beslan in North Ossetia - in which up to 1,200 people were held captive - was likely to be more than 400.
The official toll yesterday stood at 323 which included 156 children, 10 Russian soldiers and two emergency service workers - 35 of the hostage-takers were also killed. Last night 434 people were being treated in hospital with 247 children and 85 adults in a critical condition.
A Russian official said six seriously injured children had been taken to Moscow for treatment.
"One of them is a child, just 18 months old, with many knife wounds," he said.

Not to mention the damn hurricane. If I have to see another moron newsman standing in the rain talking about the SOS I will puke.
This story will get the same coverage as the atrocities in Kosovo since we turned the Christian Sheep over to the Albanian white slaving, heroin dealing Al Qaeda terrorists. I mean these gutter religion trash needed another source of Christian women to force into prostitution. Bush needs to make a public apology for Kosovo to Putin.
I agree 100%. Turn Chechnya into a large sea of glass.
No mercy for these pigs.
skerry doesn't want to fight them at all. He hates America just as much as the terrorists. Sensitive war means he will hold bs sessions, and invite the terrorists to camp david.
The Russians haven't had much success pacificing Chechnya in the past. Tho now the US may help them since there are jihadist elements among them.
Religion of Peace alert.
Islam is the lower limit.
As I said in a previous post in a different thread: The Abu Ghraib prison "scandal" got more coverage in the mainstream media. I guess the media doesn't consider this as important.
prayers out to all the familes affected by this barbarism
I predict a little "profiling" in Russia.
The Koran does indeed give Muslim men permission to do this to the infidels.
Time to quit once and for all this pussy-footing around what Islam really is. It is a cult of death and destruction, slavery and mutilation. It is sick and demonic to its core. It cannot be cleaned up. It cannot be lightened up. It can only be exterminated.
Chechnya needs to be turned into a smoking hole about 50 miles in diameter, that's the only holy site barbarians respect.
I hugged mine a minute ago.

it's going to get nil coverage from the msm because it shows that the WOT is real, not just here in the United States, but the world over. by showing the atrocities these "people" (and i use that term loosely) will commit on innocents, it would show that going into iraq was the right thing. by taking the war there, it's kept out of this great country. (fyi: i'm listening to Toby Keith's American Soldier right now - more people need to listen to those words.) The 9/10/01 people don't want to hear any justification for this awful war.....they need to get over it!
I would support Russia if it wants to NUKE the bastards.
How did they get the film out? satellite?
Got this from a chechen list.
