| Lone Terrorist Still in Beslan School, May Still Have Hostages |
| 2004-09-03 |
| Terrorists might still be holding hostages in the school, said FSB North Ossetian chief Valery Andreyev, who also said that fighting is continuing, Itar-Tass reports. FSB troops are continuing a "violent fight with the remaining bandits, FSB's special forces are doing everything to free children still in the hands of terrorists," Andreyev was quoted by Itar-Tass as saying. The operation HQ also explained that it looks like the sole remaining terrorist is stranded in an annex to the school, and they do not rule out the possibility that some hostages might still be there. Twenty terrorists have been shot in the fighting; ten of them have turned out to be Arabs. Some of the bodies have already been picked up by law enforcement for identification; others lie in plain view but cannot be picked up because of the continuing crossfire. |

| #2 Arabs - refer to Chechens from Jordan! Half the population ran to Jordan when Lenin rolled in 1919-1923 period.... These same people make up a huge pool of "security workers" in the Arab world. Most converted to the Saudi - Wahabi version of Islam. When you hear of Chechens fighting in Iraq these are likely from Jordan too. |

| #1 Arabs? Unlikely. My stun metre would have given warning. |
