You weren't being sarcastic, powerclown just doesn't know what that word means. Thanks for the thorough and
sincere analysis.

The order of events is still unclear. But one eyewitness has told Russian media that one of the many bombs stuck with tape around the gym fell and exploded. The roof caved in and hostages started to run.

You can't plan for something like that, complete chaos.

Late on Friday, officials say 20 of the attackers - at least nine of them Arab - have been killed. Three others have been taken alive, they say. There are contradictory reports as to whether any of them are still on the run.

Nine of (at least) 23 were Arab. Is there a precedent for this? I didn't think these groups mixed so freely. When the BBC says "Arab" do they mean they're from Saudi Arabia or just middle eastern? What will Putin's response be if they're all from U.S. backed Saudi Arabia? Should he follow the Bush doctrine and attack the U.S.?
