2002 Nord-Ost siege

[Meatpie]

The 2002 Nord-Ost siege, was the seizure of the crowded Dubrovka Theater on 23 October 2002 by some 40 to 50 armed Chechens who claimed allegiance to the Islamist militant separatist movement in Chechnya.[SUP][/SUP] They took 850 hostages and demanded the withdrawal of Russian forces from Chechnya and an end to the Second Chechen War. The siege was officially led by Movsar Barayev. After a two-and-a-half day siege, Russian Alpha Group forces pumped an unknown chemical agent into the building's ventilation system and raided it.[SUP]

I remember this story. The chemical, I believe, was some sort of agent used in inhalation anesthesia. In any event, it put many of them to sleep.
