Time Investigates Moscow's Theater Seige

London (ots)

This week's issue of TIME (Europe edition) features
an investigation into the tragic events surrounding Moscow's theater
siege. As early as Day One of the siege, diggers had been tunneling
underneath the theater TIME Moscow bureau chief Paul Quinn-Judge
reports.
Spetsnaz or special commando troops, of the elite Alfa and Vympel
anti-terror units of the Federal Security Bureau's military arm,
manned positions around the building. Yet officials admit their hand
was forced in the hours before dawn when the disciplined Chechens
inside began shooting, as promised.
"They killed a man and a woman," said Olga Chernyak, an Interfax
news reporter among the hostages. "It happened right where I was. I
thought they would kill us all." she told TIME. The theatre siege was
the work of a generation of Chechens who feel they have nothing left
to lose-and more such attacks are possible, Chechen sources told
TIME.
