Guerrillas seize Moscow theatre Wednesday, 23 October, 2002, 19:43 GMT 20:43 UK Guerrillas seize Moscow theatre The Palace of Culture is in a run-down area of Moscow Up to 100 armed guerrillas have stormed a Moscow theatre, taking up to 1,000 members of the audience, theatre staff and actors hostage. The theatre was holding a performance of the most popular Russian musical Nord-Ost. Chechen separatists contacted the BBC to say the hostage-takers had planted explosives in the theatre and were led by a nephew of Chechen warlord Arbi Barayev. They demanded the immediate withdrawal of Russian troops from Chechnya, and said they were prepared to die for their cause. ---------- They also reportedly said that if Russian security forces tried to attack, they would blow up the theatre. The area has been sealed off and President Vladimir Putin is said to be watching the situation closely. Our correspondent says the Chechen rebels have been threatening to strike in Moscow, so this was probably a well-planned operation. news.bbc.co.uk
