Attackers storm Russian school

[LibLabUK]

Russian officials were quoted as saying 17 armed men and women, some wearing explosive belts, stormed the school in the city of Beslan in North Ossetia.

At least 200 pupils and possibly some parents are believed to have been in the school at the time, as it is the first day back after the holidays.

An envoy in the region said a gun fight had broken out with police.

The seizure comes amid heightened security following a suspected suicide bomb attack in Moscow on Tuesday night, and the bombing of two passenger planes last week.

2. Oh Jesus F**KING CHRIST

I hate to even bring this up, but I've been wondering for quite some time just when this kind of thing is going to start happening HERE? We are NOT safer and the whole goddamn world hates us. Sorry to be so negative. I really am. But this is just too much.
