on Yahoo News they say fighters opened fire on escaping children. How can they SHOT 200 kids and not kill anyone? Something is definitely very weird in that story, I hope part about shooting is lie, and not part about all children being safe

Well, with wounded people, they mean all people taken to hospitals, and that includes people who are severely dehydrated.

This is the last report I've read:

At least 10 dead as troops battle militants
Beslan, Russia
September 4, 2004/AGE

At least 10 people, children and adults, have been taken out dead on stretchers from the southern Russian school where hundreds were held hostage, an AFP correspondent reported today.

At least six children, all very badly wounded and some with their limbs ripped off and their backs torn open, were also evacuated by civilians and members of the Russian emergency ministry.

Russian security forces surrounded a house where gunmen were holed up after fleeing the scene of a school hostage-taking, news agencies reported.

Still really unclear how is the situation exactly,
but now the fear assumption has come to hand because the BBC reports that up to 100 bodies seen lying in in the school.

Yes, but as I said, this drama is not for a long time yet ended. In all probability there will be more.

At our national news, a man explained that this gives the Russian people the feeling that the State, and not the Individual, is the most important. Something they thought they had left behind with the fall of the Soviet-Union.

That's not really new. It's a matter of common knowledge, how, so called, Zar Putin rules Russia.

Well, Putin has been a secret policece person since he is an adult.

Might be, most of us, who have access to different media, the internet etc., know about that.

But "common knowledge"?
