Then, and just to make matters worse... The shooting in the theater lasted for an hour or so... and no Russian trooper died or was even hurt ? (Same with hostages!) So, what was all the shooting about ? There were many explosions heard by reporters during that hour : yet there are no blasted bodies. So, what were the explosions about ? It sure looks like the Chechens were bluffing. They may have forgotten that Putin used to be KGB. Now I don't say that it isn't fair for them to die. It's just that they were murdered. Possibly twice gassed then shot. Didn't Putin ignited the chemical war here ? Did he have a choice ? We are bound to see developments on this aspect It will be interesting to follow the Russian FA attitudes toward Saudia in the following days and weeks. If many of the Chechens are from Saudia and AQ, some princes are going to get their ears pulled in an unusual (read non American) way.
