It's on the BBC, too, and the Telegraph, etc. I feel very sad. Unfortunately,

unless the terrorists simply gave up, something like this happening was a

certainty.

I think this is going to be an ongoing trend and not just in Iraq and Russia. I see it happening around the globe. Who's Next? Do you get the Daily telegraph in the US. or is it an American T.

I sometimes look at the Daily Telegraph at: http://www.telegraph.co.uk - it's

easier to read on paper, though.

Yes, it may be a growing trend - I think the only way to deal with it is to say

that "if you take hostages, and harm them, we *will* kill you" - any sort of

negotiation makes hostage-taking more likely.

The Moscow theatre incident.... lots of people killed there... very sad. When

there's a chance that taking hostages will succeed, I guess there'll always

be someone who thinks it's worth a go. Even with no chance of demands

being met, there's still the publicity....
