WHY IS THIS NOT EVEN GETTING MENTIONED, LET ALONE COVERED?
9mm CCW gives me enough cover to get back to where I have the artillery hidden!!
Unlike 9/11, one country's soldiers/militia have attacked another sovereign nation's citizens in a terror act.

Poor translation, but you get the gist. I can't figure out if they are able to confirm 300 ppl have been released or what. I think it says they cannot confirm that.
Stratfor sources within the Russian foreign ministry say the latest development already is shaping Moscow's diplomatic strategy. They say Moscow will pressure Washington to refocus its efforts on al Qaeda and drop plans to attack Iraq. Few outside the Bush administration believe Iraq has substantial links to al Qaeda. Russia wants to emphasize that, in the aftermath of the Bali bombing and now the Moscow hostage situation, al Qaeda poses a clear and present danger to all countries.
