On September 4, possibly accidentally, a battle erupted between Russian forces and the terrorists. More than 330 civilians died, including 186 children. The Chechen terrorist [[Shamil Basayev]], who was trained in [[Afghanistan]] by the [[Taliban]] and [[Pakistan]]i [[I.S.I]]. claimed responsibility for the attack, which ranks as one of the worst terrorist outrages in history. Basayev was later killed by Russian forces. | On September 4, possibly accidentally, a battle erupted between Russian forces and the terrorists. More than 330 civilians died, including 186 children.
