Muslim audience members were allowed to leave.
Well this where self preservation kicks in. No one (bar the fruit and nut cases) wants to get blown up. But again it's seperating the Muslims out and will cause more hatred against there kind in Russia.Comment

I wish they had tried this when Stalin was in charge.. we would not be hearing anything about these "Chechens" today, any more than we would be hearing about what the mammoths or dodo birds are doing.

If I understand right, some of the gunmen have been arrested, their leader has been killed and all the hostages have been freed

Seems to be winding down already. No word on casualties though:

I hear that most of the hostage takers have been killed and the hostages freed....not a big surprise, this is Russia after all
