listening to the mission control recording from Radio 4 last night, the frustration of some of the guys involved took the form of deadpan sarcasm.
It went something like this...
voice 1 "we have impact"
voice 2 "do you have an altitude reading"
voice 1 "impact Sir, that's ground level"

Beslan : The unanswered questions...
It seems that once again, no matter how horrific the incident, there's a government willing to exploit it. In this case there are numerous sources in Moscow claiming that it was a work of 'international terrorism', obviously trying to draw a link to Al-Queda.
International terrorism. Interesting turn of phrase, especially as it seems to be based on the fact that one state was refused independence 13 years ago.
They were prepared, they were very clever and they will do it again.
