	K.P.S. Gill: Freedom From Fear -- Terrorism - The weak are never at peace
		Even as news of the release of the three Indian hostages in Iraq was breaking, a crisis on a monumental scale was unfolding in Russia, where some 350 people, including over 200 school children, were taken hostage in a school in North Ossetia, by Chechen terrorists.
		Clearly, even as the three Indian hostages are brought home amidst the Government's celebration of its "success" in securing their release after 42 days in captivity, it is now time to face the hostages issue-and India's persistent lack of coherence of response and policy-frontally.
		The current crisis in Russia- with the lives of hundreds of children at stake-is an indicator of the scale, as well as the emotional and moral burden, a hostage situation can impose on those who are charged with dealing with such situations.

	David Satter on Russia & Chechnya on National Review Online
		The outcome of the Budyonnovsk crisis was regarded as shameful by many in the Russian leadership but it led ultimately to the end of the first Chechen war and to the fact that 1996-99 was a period in which no Russian soldiers died fighting Chechen guerillas.
		According to the newspaper, Kommersant, after the two hostages were shot, the terrorists threatened to shoot everyone in the hall but they not only did not shoot anyone but actually pulled the bodies of the victims into the foyer where they were picked up by an arriving ambulance.
		In the Moscow theater crisis, Putin demonstrated his oft stated intention to "wipe out the terrorists in their outhouses." The consequences of the theater crisis for Russia and the world, however, may become increasingly serious.

	CNN - Hostage crisis continues - Jan. 24, 1996
		The rebels, and the hostages, are the remainder of a siege that began January 9 when a group of nearly 200 Chechen rebels led by Salman Raduyev stormed an airport in the Dagestani Republic town of Kizlyar in southern Russia.
		Numbered among the hostages were three Dagestani interior ministry policeman, who accused the Russian army of using them as "cannon powder" in the battle for Pervomaiskaya last week.
		Having cited the execution of all the hostages as justification for launching their deadly assault on Pervomaiskaya, the Russian authorities are now hearing evidence to the contrary -- evidence which could inflict further political damage on President Boris Yeltsin and his field commanders.

	Green Left - Russian no-confidence vote points to fresh battles
		Communists, Agrarians and other opponents of the government's social and economic policies united with liberals alienated by the regime's handling of the hostage crisis and the Chechnya war.
		Votes were taken to demand the sacking of the ministers seen as especially responsible for the Chechnya war and the Budyonnovsk debacle: Grachev, Yerin and nationalities minister Nikolai Yegorov.
		The political crisis of late June is therefore unlikely to be the year's last.

	BBC NEWS \| Europe \| Analysis: The hostage-takers
		Though some hostages are reported to have recognised Doku Umarov from pictures shown them by investigators, little other evidence has otherwise been produced to support the claim.
		Russian officials may well be right to point the finger of blame at Shamil Basayev, who carried out the first Chechen mass hostage-taking in the southern Russian town of Budyonnovsk in 1995 and who claims to have masterminded the seizure of a theatre in Moscow in 2002, which led to 129 deaths.
		While the Budyonnovsk raid was unplanned the Moscow operation was carefully organised, like the latest hostage-taking in Beslan School Number One, where it is thought weapons and explosives may have been stored weeks in advance.

		Graphically displayed during the hostage crisis in Moscow, the new dimensions complicate the bitter contest and are likely to increase the already formidable obstacles to a peaceful settlement.
		Although hardly visible to the outside world behind the smoke of Russian carpet-bombing and overshadowed by the Russian-made humanitarian crisis of immense proportions, a significant shift began in the mid-1990s and especially since 1996 in the outlook and agenda of some of the key elements of the Chechen resistance.
		Immediately after the crisis, the ambassadors from all Arab nations with embassies in Moscow were called to the Foreign Ministry and sharply rebuked for not offering assistance in the negotiations with the terrorists.

		This crisis is rooted in the last years of the former Soviet Union, and ripened during President Yeltsin's term of office.
		Though it is obvious that the idea of involving the armed forces in the Chechen crisis resolution was long cherished by the Òpower structures,Ó it very soon turned out that in fact neither Grachev's military nor Yerin's interior forces were ready for such a ÒpoliceÓ operation.
		On the level of the military itself, the crisis of civil-military relations was manifested in the desperate desire of the military to establish their own lobby in the parliament in an attempt to affect the national government.

	Hostage crisis refuels Chechnya debate \| csmonitor.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		The crisis began late Wednesday when the highly organized detachment of Chechen rebels seized the Palace of Culture on Melnikova Street in southeast Moscow, where the popular patriotic musical "Nord-Ost" was being staged.
		Among the possible fallout to this hostage crisis is a sharp escalation of ethnic tensions in diverse Russia, especially treatment of the 100,000-strong Chechen diaspora in Moscow.
		International implications of the hostage shock are so far unclear, but Russian experts say the situation may make Russia more cooperative with the tough US position, in the midst of a crucial UN Security Council debate on how to deal with Iraq.

		Discriminatory police harassment in Stavropol district as practiced against Chechens and Armenians peaked in 1995 during the Chechnya war and in the aftermath of the Budyonnovsk hostage raid.
		As in other areas of high ethnic minority populations, the most common form of state-sponsored discrimination in these provinces is police harassment through discriminatory enforcement of residence requirements: arbitrary identitychecks on the street and on highways, during which victims are often forced to pay bribes; and invasive identification checks at home.
		During the Budyonnovsk crisis itself, the regional Department of Interior instructed all Chechens to leave the town, allegedly for their own safety.

		The police regularly detained people of color in mass sweeps at marketplaces and refugee hostels, more brutally and punitively in the wake of domestic unrest, such as the war in Chechnya and the Budyonnovsk hostage crisis, both of which involved dark-skinned people and violence against Russians.
		Police in Budyonnovsk not only refused to protect local Chechens from retaliatory violence in the wake of the hostage crisis but actively encouraged them to leave altogether.

		Russian authorities said the bloody end to the standoff came after explosions apparently set off by the militants — possibly by accident — as emergency workers were entering the school to collect the bodies of slain hostages.
		As hostages took their chance to flee, the militants opened fire on them, and security forces — along with town residents who had brought their own weapons — opened covering fire to help the hostages escape.
		Alla Gadieyeva, a 24-year-old hostage who was seized with her son and mother — all three were among the survivors — said the captors laughed when she asked them for water for her mother.
