This is classic Basayev in action. Refusing food and water, taking very vulnerable hostages, laying mines around the outside of the building.

Russia has played this game before and will approach it differently this time. But at least they know who they are battling now.

Btw, Budennovsk was 1600 people held hostage.

Basayev, darn, you are right. Exactly. Mad about his foot.
