A mother describes the choice offered to her by Muslim terrorists during the seizure of Middle School 1 in Russia last year. [Link](http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,13509-1742594,00.html?ref=thedailyeudemon.com). Excerpt:

> She cannot explain exactly why one of the hostage-takers, calling himself Abdullah, took her aside on September 2, the second day of the siege, and made his spine-chilling offer. He said that Zaurbek, Medina and any other relatives could walk free. All she had to do was to strap on a belt of explosives and become a shakhidka, or suicide bomber, in support of their demands that Russia withdraw from neighbouring Chechnya.

> Dumbfounded, Mrs Kudziyeva asked if she could have time to think. “Go and sit. You all have time,” she remembers Abdullah saying.

> Back in the sports hall with most of the other hostages, she told them about Abdullah's offer. “They said that maybe I should do it and then the terrorists will let us go,” she recalled.
