#1 There have been a few different causes attributed to the explosions:

1) The female bomber detonating.

2) A vehicle driven in to retrieve bodies from the gym hit land mines.

3) Russian special forces blew out a hole in back of the gym as an outlet for the escaping hostages.

I hope locals will understand the need to detain all people in the hospital until they are 100% identified. Reports cite how some of the terrorists have tried to mingle with escaping or wounded hostages.

It is important to take many of them alive to accurately debrief them and make clear any al Qaeda and Arab connections with this atrocity.

#3 This has pushed the line with respect to the WOT. These guys are every bit of the Islamists that we are fighting and we should help Russia any way we can. Before I get flamed, yes I know they didn't help in Iraq, but I bet Putin would not forget any help we give.

#4 Agreed. The best way we can help Russia vis-a-vis the Chechens and jihadists would be to help train and re-organize Russia's demoralized, incompetent, and corrupt military.

Time to finally get serious about letting NATO die and replacing it with an Asia-centric alliance (USA-India-Israel-Russia-Turkey) for an Asian century.
