За 20 лет расследования теракта в Буденновске власти нашли менее половины боевиков.

Заложники в больнице города Буденновска вывешивают на окна белые простыни с просьбой прекратить стрельбу.

В эти дни в Буденновске проходят траурные мероприятия в память о трагических событиях 14–20 июня 1995 года. 20 лет назад название этого небольшого городка в степях Ставропольского края с населением чуть более 60 тыс. человек прогремело на весь мир, став одним из самых ярких символов ужаса террора. Потом были и Кизляр, и «Норд-Ост», и Беслан, и взрывы в московском метро. Но именно ошибки Буденновска стали уроком для тех, кому предстояло освобождать заложников и обезвреживать террористов в будущем

Interdepartmental anti-terrorism exercises, known as «Blizzard», were held last week in the village of Ust-Ordynsky (near Irkutsk, East Siberia). From the outside they looked spectacular: the capture of buildings, snipers on the roofs, barricades and cordons. News editors, however, do not go for such news: morning play by children and an FSB training exercise do not have the same social significance, though they are simulations. This time it was different — representatives of the Federal Security Service (FSB) agreed to compromise with “Irkutsk Reporter” and agreed to show the underside of the exercise, or more precisely, allowed him to play the role of a hostage at a site captured by terrorists. Since these were games by grownup boys, the participants would take things very seriously. “They’ll go at it harshly,” we were promised. “And if something goes down, don’t take offense.”  ‘Irkutsk Reporter’ had his own interest: what does an ordinary person feel like in such a situation? Game or not, a hostage cannot really just get up and say, “I don’t want to play anymore, ‘bye.” That does not work. I hope that no one will have to find out the following in a real hostage situation for him or herself, but it is better to be aware of some aspects to this in advance.

Plot
For two days in late May Ust-Ordynsky lived on emergency mode at the will of the local law enforcement agencies and security services. The center of the village was cordoned off, and explosions and gunfire could be heard coming from the restricted area.

Вместе с тем, как и сообщал «Ъ», в ведомстве подтвердили, что объявленному ранее в международный розыск 41-летнему Хасану Закаеву и задержанному в Крыму, в ближайшее время будет предъявлено обвинение в окончательной редакции. Хасану Закаеву инкриминируется пособничество в подготовке теракта

Six survivors taken hostage on January 9th, 2015 in a kosher supermarket in Paris have filed a civil lawsuit against news agencies covering the attack. They believe that reporters put their lives in danger.

French police are investigating the complaints. The lawsuit is against the BFM TV news site, which carried a live broadcast from the scene and was highlighted separately (by other stations).

(In that attack) Amedie Coulibaly killed four hostages before police stormed the store and shot the assailant.

He was associated with persons who entered the editorial department of the weekly satirical magazine «Charlie Hebdo». He also killed a policewoman the day before taking hostages in the store.
