	Budyonnovsk hospital hostage crisis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Budyonnovsk hospital hostage crisis is a terror attack from 14 June to 19 June 1995, when a group of about 50 Chechen separatist fighters led by Shamil Basayev attacked the southern Russian city Budyonnovsk near Chechnya.
		Many of the former hostages suffer from various forms of psychological wounds and traumas, and are being treated at a new facility in Budyonnovsk.
		Reacting to the perceived inept handling of the hostage situation, the lower house of the Russian parliament, the Duma, voted 241 to 72 in favour of an expression of no confidence of the government led by Viktor Chernomyrdin.

		But a timeline that moves from "Budyonnovsk, June 1995, Chechen terrorists seize hospital, 120 dead" to "Moscow, October 2002, Chechen terrorists seize theater, 117 dead" omits a lot.
		Consider that one month before Budyonnovsk, Russian forces strafed a Chechen mountain village, Vedeno, and killed 11 women and children cowering in a shelter -- a mundane occurrence, as the carpet bombing had by then killed thousands of civilians, except that these particular 11 were all Basayev's relatives.
		He is about to expand on eight years of deliberate, horrific, sustained and unpunished war crime -- one that has surely manufactured and empowered more terrorists than it has ever destroyed.
