Rebels hold 2000 hostages in hospital siege at Budyonnovsk
Chechen rebels maintain control of a hospital in Budyonnovsk with more than 2,000 captives. Fighting on Saturday killed and wounded dozens, as hostages pleaded for mercy from armed troops and journalists reported spikes in international concern. A portion of about 227 hostages was later released, while captives waved white flags and shouted for no more shooting. The confrontation marks a major embarrassment for Russian authorities as efforts to resolve the standoff continue.
