Beslan Hostage Crisis Documentary

Command and Conquer: Red Alert - The Aftermath
"Negotiations" Mission Briefing

A Soviet force has holed up in a small town, threatening to kill a hostage every 5 minutes until their demands are met. We do not negotiate with terrorists -- explain this to them.

Truth is stranger than fiction--or in this case, worse than fiction, indeed.

Things the Beslan terrorists did:

*Indiscriminately fired upon unarmed civilians -- check!
*Used the civilians as human shields/hostages -- check!
*Used "dead man's switch" bombs in an effort to maximize civilian casualties even if the terrorists were killed -- check!

Incidents like these prove there is no limit to human brutality or depravity. None.
