Chechnya extremists hold 1000 hostage in Russia.

MOSCOW, Russia (CNN) -- Gunfire has been heard from a Moscow theatre where about 20 armed gunmen are reported to be holding the audience, believed to be about 700 people, hostage.

The gunmen said they were demanding "an end to the war," according to a freed hostage, in the first indication of a link to the Chechen conflict, Interfax news agency reported.

CNN\'s Ryan Chilcote said five gunshots were heard after the gunmen seized the building on Wednesday night and said the situation was chaotic.

He said that Russia\'s elite Alpha Group of crack security troops had surrounded the theatre complex. He said that actors leaving the building had reported the gunmen laying mines in the theatre.

Chilcote said that two Russian snipers had taken up position behind him and a number of police with dogs had moved into the building.

Two hundred interior ministry troops had taken up positions with trolley buses blocking the roads he said.

Earlier Interfax, one of whose reporters was in the theatre at the time, said the gunmen had allowed members of the audience to make phone calls and children to be released.

The gunmen fired shots into the air as they entered the theatre. Muslim members of the audience attending the production of "North-East" were also allowed to leave, Interfax said.

   
The theatre was formerly the "palace of culture" for a ball-bearing plant  
 
 
 
The theatre -- "the Palace of Culture" formerly for workers of a ballbearing plant -- was staging a performance of the musical "Nord-Ost," one of the Russian capital\'s most popular productions. About 40 actors, 35 musicians, 50 staff and an audience of 600 were believed to be inside the hall located in southeastern Moscow in a working class neighbourhood.

The theatre\'s producer, Alexander Tsekalo, said on Russian television that the theatre could hold 1,163 people.

Russian President Vladimir Putin was immediately told of the hostage taking, Interfax reported. Mosow Mayor Yuri Luzhkov went to the theatre.

Chechen rebels kill Russian soldiers and Chechen police on a daily basis with attacks and mine blasts. Most police officers in the southern republic\'s Moscow-backed government are ethnic Chechens, whom the rebels consider traitors.

Russian forces left Chechnya in 1996 after a disastrous two-year war but returned in 1999 after rebels raided a neighbouring region and Russian authorities blamed rebels for a series of bombings in Russia that killed more than 300 people.

The musical showing at the theatre when the gunmen entered, "Nord-Ost," is based on Veniamin Kaverin\'s novel "Two Captains." The romantic novel recounts the story of two students and their different destinies during the Soviet times.

According to the theatre\'s Web site, more than 350,000 people have seen the production since it opened.


Oh dear, I wonder how they\'re going to solve this.

They better solve this the diplomatic way, and not start bombing whats left of their country. (or try to enter the building.. BOOM)

God, more Chechen terrorists acts...you\'d think that Putin would be in full support of a "stop to terrorism", being that it\'s a huge part of his own country. They need to get the extremists under control -- that\'s ridiculous.

God dammit.  Enough is enough.  I\'m tired of militant men killing and threatening to kill because someone pissed in their cheerios.  If there is a "Creator" (and I believe there is), I doubt this creator intended for humans to perpetuate all this bullshit.  

Organized religion, political offices, income taxes, terrorism = BULLSHIT

Religion, government, taxes....all good intentions.

Humans.....make them into bad ones.

Give a human a tree, he\'ll fashion a spear out of the branches.

There\'s not one good thing that humans have not fashioned to turn it into a bad thing. We\'re wild animals with large brains after all.

He is.. A few years ago the Russians launched a full scale attack on the Chechen main city totaly destroying it (they keept bombing it for days, and then they went in with tanks and bulldozers)

Putin has said that these "terrorists" are under control. Now he\'s looking like an idiot.

Let me just put it this way, bombing for peace is like fu

As for the terrorists, if they harm one person in the theater, i\'d just waste the whole bunch of them and kill 100 Chechen civilians for each russian murdered, only fair. If i was Prez i\'d waste any mofo ****ing with my country, eye for an eye baby, ......

I have no idea.. If they let go of the Chechnya they might look "weak"..  Maybe its about pride?

Anyways, its not worth spending thousands upon thousands just for a piece of land where you\'re not wanted anyways.

The Russians have taken huge casualties in the Russian - Chechnya war.

Yep its possible.

Russian TV has shown pictures where they were carrying someone on a stretcher covered in a blanket.

It will be interesting to see how good \'ol KGB Vladimir will solve this.
