"As you can see, the terrorists used a variety of powerful weapons including landmines and RPGs. According to the military, they also installed no less than 20 kilograms of high explosives in the stadium..."
"A total of 35 hostages died in this hostage incident, including 15 children and 20 adults. The impact was extremely bad..."
"It is reported that during this operation, 32 of the 33 Chechen terrorists were shot dead by combatants and angry townspeople, and one person was captured alive. This person was saved by the military with great effort..."
"The military has announced some details of the operation. This operation dispatched more than 150 military and police personnel, including Alpha and Signal Flag. The military has been trying to negotiate with the terrorists, but in the end the negotiations failed. The military was enthusiastic about the townspeople.
With the help of others, he mastered the terrain of the stadium, launched a raid from the sewers, and finally rescued the hostages..."
"The picture shows the townspeople of Beslan mourning their relatives. It is reported that more than 1,000 hostages were taken this time. Most of them were successfully rescued, but the crazy terrorists still killed some innocent hostages. The entire Beslan
Lan Town is in a state of sadness..."
"Just ten minutes ago, Chechen Dudayev separatist leader Basayev gave a speech claiming that he was responsible for the terrorist attack. The Kremlin announced that it would deliver a presidential speech in half an hour..."
"After the Beslan incident, about 110,000 people held a rally outside the Kremlin to angrily condemn the terrorist atrocities..."
All TV channels were reporting on the Beslan hostage incident. Irving looked through them one by one. Everyone was playing the same thing. They were all talking about how crazy this terrorist attack was. In addition, they were talking about how successful the Russian military's operation was. But
Almost unanimously, no one mentioned his existence.
Needless to say, this must be the official meaning of Russia, and the credit of Irving, an American, has been erased.
Probably because the FSB needed to grasp the trend of foreign media in real time, Owen browsed for a while and found that the TV channels here could actually receive some TV stations from the United States and Europe.
Irving continued to look at it with relish. Unlike the Russian domestic media, the Western media's attitude towards this incident was unanimously negative.
Most of them accused the Russian military of poor command and lack of cooperation in the hostage rescue operation. In addition, they accused them of their attitude towards Chechnya, lack of active negotiations, etc., and the argument turned out to be the number of hostage deaths and the number of terrorists.
Basically the same.
To be honest, although Irving is an American, he is disgusted with their appearance.
Irving is a person who has experienced it personally. He knows that Russia has handled this incident quite well. Only more than 30 people died out of more than 1,000 hostages. Moreover, the division of labor in the rescue operation was also very clear. The military and civilians did not affect each other. Of course, he
I don’t know that Monica and Baleleka played a big role in this.
Half an hour passed quickly, the president's speech was about to begin, and domestic and foreign media were preparing to broadcast it live.
"Gentlemen and ladies, first of all, I regret what happened in Beslan today. Chechen elements used terrorist methods to attack a school. This behavior is simply insane and should be boycotted by the whole world..."
"I reiterate once again that Russia's attitude towards terrorism is that it will never tolerate terrorism. The Russian government will not give in to terrorism, but will retaliate in kind. Chechens, just wait for Russia's revenge..."
"International terrorism is becoming increasingly rampant and its methods are more cruel. It has posed a great threat around the world. We must take appropriate measures to deal with their destructive actions..."
"If someone tries to use such means against our country, Russia will take the appropriate time to oppose these terrorists, including their ideological and economic backers, wherever they are..."
"If there is anything we did wrong in the Beslan incident, it is that we should not have any illusions that we can achieve our goals through negotiations. Russia will never compromise with terrorists, and we will not accept blackmail and bargaining. I will inform you today
The General Staff asked them to make changes to their original plan to use the military..."
"We will chase terrorists everywhere. If they are caught at the airport, they will be shot at the airport. If they are caught in the toilet, they will be drowned in the toilet. That's how this problem will be solved..."
President Vovsky's attitude is extremely tough. Before the Beslan incident, Russian airports and subways suffered successive terrorist attacks. Earlier, there was the Moscow theater hostage incident. Before that, Russia had considered the possibility of negotiation.
, but now it seems that the Beslan incident has made President Wolfsky clearly realize that negotiation will only make terrorists more and more rampant, and his attitude towards terrorists has completely changed.
Owen recognized that the place where President Vovsky delivered his speech was the playground podium of Beslan Middle School. It seemed that the Russian President had arrived in Beslan today.
There was a short question-and-answer period after the president's speech. The scene was already crowded with foreign media reporters, and almost all reporters were raising their hands desperately to get the lucky opportunity to ask questions.
Finally, a female reporter was called. She stood up and said: "Your Excellency, why doesn't Russia consider negotiating with the leaders of Chechnya to solve the problem?"
President Wolfsky glanced at the female reporter solemnly: "Are you an American reporter?"
"Yes, I'm CBS reporter Lisa Abbott."
"Then I ask you, why doesn't the United States negotiate with Ben **, why doesn't it negotiate with the White Masks who attacked the White House, why doesn't it invite them to Brussels or the White House to negotiate, ask them what they want, and then give them ideas
Do you want him to leave quietly?"
Wolfsky said without hesitation: "You think you can't make a deal with beasts, so why should we negotiate with child killers? No one has the right to moralize us and let us negotiate with child killers!"
Wofsky continued: "I remember the British royal family once said that a person who rushes into the street and kills others should pay the price with his life."
"But violence will only make things worse..."
American reporters still want to argue.
Wofsky immediately retorted: "You call the Chechen separatists freedom fighters, so Ben** can also be called a freedom fighter. The White Masks attacked the White House just to change the president. Why didn't David Palmer consider fulfilling their wishes?
, this way the world will be peaceful..."
Hearing this, Irving couldn't help but praise President Wolfsky. He had long known that the domestic media in the United States could not be trusted, but he did not expect to confuse right and wrong to such an extent. Speaking of shamelessness, I guess the media around the world would not be able to catch up.
In the United States, those who are good for the United States are freedom fighters, and those who are against the United States are terrorists. They use the word double standards brilliantly. Are they still freedom fighters, freedom fighters who massacre children?
What else the female reporter wanted to say was stopped by the host: "Sorry, one person can only ask one question, and there is only one last quota. So, this gentleman..."
The host asked another male reporter. This male reporter was a European reporter. His questions were much more friendly. The male reporter stood up and asked: "President Vovsky, I would like to ask, what do you think of Beslan's visit this time?"
Are you satisfied with the Russian military's actions during the incident?"
President Wolfsky thought about it again and again. He didn't know whether this question was a trap, but he still answered: "It is difficult to find more than 30 terrorists among more than 1,000 hostages and kill them, and the other party is among the hostages.
A large number of explosives were installed, and there were black widows among the hostages, but in the end we did it, although we also paid the price of more than 30 lives.
I think the rescue operation was quite successful, but it also exposed many problems. First of all, we should not negotiate with the terrorists. Killing them all is the most correct approach. Secondly, according to the account of the only prisoner, the number of people involved in this terrorist attack was
Weapons and explosives were deployed in the school in advance, which shows that there are loopholes in our security defense system. We will set up an internal investigation team to conduct a detailed investigation later..."
