Mr Putin will not be moved by this tragedy
By Oleg Gordievsky
(Filed: 05/09/2004)
Negotiating the release of hostages is never less than appallingly difficult. But I do not believe the crisis in the school in Beslan was bound to end in the deaths of hundreds of children. The official toll already stands at 322, half of them children, and is likely to go higher. The Russian "Spetsnaz", or Special Forces, who surrounded the school and who were in charge of containing the hostage crisis and bringing it to an end, have a reputation for fearsome, if brutal, efficiency. That reputation helps to sustain the belief, at least in the West, that there was very little that could have been done to prevent this disastrous outcome.
This is simply not true. Only part of the Spetsnaz's reputation is justified. They are certainly brutal. But they are not efficient, and never have been - even in the old days of the Cold War, when they were well financed. The Spetsnaz were assigned to assassinate President Amin in Afghanistan in December 1979. They bungled the operation comprehensively. True, they killed the president - but only after shooting dozens of their own comrades, and shooting his children.
The operation was aimed to be "clinical" and to assassinate the president with a minimum of what the Americans would call "collateral damage". It quickly turned into a nightmare of confusion and incompetence: members of the Spetsnaz teams (several of them had been assigned to the task) attacked in the dark, and then failed to recognise who was firing at whom - with the result that they ended up shooting each other, inflicting horrendous casualties on their own side.
Vladimir Putin was beginning his career in the KGB when it organised that debacle. Now the president of Russia, Putin has sent messages of condolence and sympathy to officials in the North Ossetia region where the terrorists took the school hostage. Yet the truth is that he is at least partially responsible for the fact that the siege ended in so horrible a blood-bath. The Russian siege negotiators and the Spetsnaz (there were several thousand of them) who had surrounded the school were totally unprepared for what happened. They knew that the terrorists had mined the school and had strapped bombs to themselves and its roof, but they had no contingency plans if one of those bombs went off.
That was what actually happened: in the chaos which followed the explosion, there was a break-out by some of the children, followed by some of the terrorists. Yet the Spetsnaz had failed to seal off the school, with the result that some of the terrorists managed to get away. There weren't even any ambulances waiting to take the wounded hostages to hospital. Many of the children who died will have been shot by Spetsnaz officers because they were caught in the crossfire between the terrorists shooting at them, and the Spetsnaz shooting at the terrorists. It is distinctly possible that the roof which collapsed and buried many more of the captured children under a pile of rubble was destroyed by a rocket fired by one of the besieging Spetsnaz.
Despite the official denials, President Putin was certainly planning to storm the school before the sudden explosions derailed that plan. He had taken the precaution of persuading the UN to issue a condemnation of the hostage-takers - thereby ensuring that the international community gave him carte blanche to deal with the incident as he saw fit. Storming the building would also certainly have caused hundreds of casualties - but that would not have deterred Putin.
Despite all the caring, sympathetic noises he is now making, Putin has a fabulous indifference to human life. When the Russian nuclear submarine Kursk was stuck on the bottom of the Baltic, its 118 crew suffocating and freezing slowly to death, he didn't even bother to interrupt his holiday. When he was later interviewed on CNN about what had happened to the Kursk, he simply smiled and said: "It went to the bottom." About the 118 Russians who died he said not a word....
OK, enough of it, I will stop this 'expert's comment' right here. I did bolden the remarkable sayings without quoting them further. If an 'expert' on Intel is saying all this, it shouldn't be commented further. I think you got the clue. You can read all of this at...
...if you want. But believe me - it's not worth the time. BUT! The voice of somebody associated sooooo closely to his caretakers speaks volumes.
After all we do know from the proven facts all this 'expertise' is rubbish at it's worst. Oleg Gordievsky was a KGB chief in London. He did warn British intelligence about Soviet activities in Great Britain. He was one of the highest ranking KGB defectors ever....

You know WHO IS THE MASTER OF THE MI6??????????
By merely reading THIS comment it got clear to me that this was a false flag operation indeed!
Nothing more to add.
