So...no one mentioned it, so I will
The policy is "Don't negotiate with terrorists". The Russians proved it a while back in one of their theaters by accidentally killing over 120 people (most of them the kidnappees) with nerve gas.
Not negotiating didn't stop the bombings of those planes, nor did it stop this highajcking of this school.
So...you have 400 hostages. About 200 of them are very young kids, the majority of the others are the parents of these young kids. There are already about 12 dead. The terrorists are armed and are wearing what appears to be belts with bombs. They've threathened to blow up the building with everyone in it if X number of Chechen rebels aren't released from jails.
So...
do you negotiate considering that these are kids on the line?
do you rush the complex and hope that not too many kids die?
Personally...I'd release the prisoners and follow them. Once the kids are free...kill off the terrorists and airmail them back to Chechnia (all tied together and a quick exit from 40,000ft above the Chechnian capital...no parachutes.)...hmm...maybe leave them alive before they get airmailed. Follow the prisoners for a while...when they go home to roost. Take the war directly to them.

it's never a good idea to kill innocents on principle

If there's one thing that terrorists havn't figured out yet, is that terrorism doesn't work...ever. There never is a happy reunuin with family and friends after an ettempt, countries recover from the temporary fear of their actions, terrorism doesn't win wars etc...
It's doomed to fail time and again...but each time someone has a more foolproof plan. Cowards and idiots!!

You cannot negotiate, but blowing the place up is as reprehensible as what these assholes are doing.
Go through the deal of cutting off the power and water, and trying to seige it out, but be ready to storm the place, and don't hesistate when the time comes.
Culturally, the Russians tend to be far more indulgent and reverent towards their children than most Western nations. If I were a Chechnyan, I'd consider battoning down the hatches. I suspect there's going to be one hell of a reprisal if this goes down badly.

The thing is...you're damned if you do and you're damned if you don't.
If you don't negotiate and show your resolve despite the losses associated with it...it'll still happen again and again..because terrorists don't learn from the past.
If you do negotiate, you mark yourself as a pussy and a target to revisitations.

On the contrary. Several nations pulled their troops out of Iraq when their nationals were threatened. It has to absolutely never, ever work.
Wrong, Bish. You're not thinking like a muslim fanatic. He'll get to see everyone again in heaven. And he'll go to heaven because he died defending the faith. That's what his priest told him. He's not in the least bit concerned with his own mortality. That's a corrupt western failing. He's doing this for the good of all muslims.
sound familiar? It should. It's the same crap sold to peasants for the crusades.

Even in Iraq...the point of the terrorism there is to get Iraq back to where it was. It ain't going to work...and getting some small country from removing it's dozen troops from the war...is a pittance.

Not even sure if these guys are Muslim...they might or might not be.
in either case...those prisoners ain't going anywhere.

Here's the kicker...and I'm glad that you brought it up, Cat.
Russia isn't exactly playing nice in Chechnia...in fact, they're really stepping on a lot of toes..and killing a lot of people. Their actions are being overlooked because they have a powerhouse member of the Security Council (UN) on their side. Plus...it's been kept out of the presses.
