...alleged assassin, Zvezdan Jovanovic, a deputy commander of the Red Berets whose fingerprints were found in the room from which the shots were fired, felt confident enough to accept an invitation to the Interior Ministry. Checking his weapons at the door, he and four other commanders failed to notice antiterror police ringing the building. When he arrived on the second floor, he recognized his captors and gave up without a fight. According to investigators, battle-hardened paramilitaries and criminals known for their silence under duress - one of the charged was known simply as the Mute - began to talk. The inducement...
...three and deferred 21 suits against the city of Moscow brought by Lyudmila's husband, Igor, on behalf of victims and families involved in last October's Chechen hostage crisis. "Everything is clear now," Igor said. "The other complaints will also be struck down." Trunov argued that, under Russian antiterror law, the city should compensate his 61 clients for the three-day siege of a Moscow theater by Chechen separatists. The raid at the Theater Center on Dubrovka ended - as did the lives of 41 guerrillas and about 130 of their more than 800 captives - after Russian troops filled...
...European targets. Zarqawi has ordered trained operatives into Europe, Beth told a meeting of the German-Atlantic Society in Berlin: "He has experience with poisonous chemicals and biological weapons ... and has become highly active.

"Every light in every service...
...daring rescue raid. As early as Day One of the hostage standoff, diggers had been tunneling underneath the theater in preparation for an assault. Now in the early hours of Saturday, gunshots from inside had forced into action the waiting Spetsnaz commando troops in the elite Alfa and Vympel antiterror units of the Federal Security Service. The Chechen hostage takers, it seemed, were about to fulfill their death vow. They had sworn that if Russian President Vladimir Putin had not declared an end to the war in Chechnya by Saturday at dawn, they would start killing hostages. If they were...
...terror attack. The wad of plastic explosives - similar to that carried by alleged shoe-bomber Richard Reid - had been wedged beneath an armrest with no detonation device attached. It was found by sniffer dogs during a random inspection of the flight from Marrakesh, Morocco. French antiterror officials said the find may have thwarted a two-step plot, in which one operative planted the bombing material for an accomplice to outfit with a detonator and explode during a later flight.
