From Bloomberg:Russian troops stormed a school in the country's south, after hostages started fleeing the building where armed terrorists had been holding as many as 1,500 people captive for two days in Beslan, North Ossetia.
More than 200 wounded were taken to hospitals, Interfax said, citing Lev Dzugayev, spokesman for North Ossetia's government. Russian broadcasters NTV and Rossiya showed children escaping and gunfire and explosions could be heard during the broadcasts.
Russian forces haven't taken the area fully under control and gunfire can be heard coming from near the gym where the hostages were held, Sky News reported from the scene. Interfax earlier reported that the area was almost under control.

This could have ended MUCH worse than it did. And it sounds like there is still some work to do rounding theseMark's Remarks
Terrorists take lives again...of course, the media has called them rebels and such, even though the vast majority of them are Islamofascists perverting the religion of Islam. Of course, some people in this nation think it will just go away, but the events in Russia and France show that it doesn't matter if you don't join the war in terror, the terrorists want to eliminate civilization.
Russia and the French, unfortunately, now know what it is like to be attacked with no provocation. I hope they realize the truth of the situation and join the war on terror actively.
Sadly, innocents die when people realize too late that we need to be vigilant and fight the islamofascists who seek to destroy civilization.
My thoughts and prayers are with the victims...As someone who knows a few Russian folks, they don't deserve this; no one does....however, someone said that evil happens when good people do nothing....
The reason the war on terror is so important is so we don't have to live in the fear that the Russian school situation will happen here...by taking the fight to the terrorists and weeding them out, we hinder the chances of events like those in Russia happening here in America, here in the Cincinnati area....
This is why we stress the war on terror so much....it is the key issue facing the world today....
