Russian School: Group released from siege school (32 hostages freed)

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/3621418.stm

Armed attackers have freed a number of women and children from a school in south Russia where they are still holding more than 300 people hostage.
The releases of 32 hostages came well into the second day of the crisis, after blasts and gunfire were heard.

Officials ruled out using force to end the siege in North Ossetia, and Russian President Vladimir Putin said the hostages' safety was paramount.

Hundreds of desperate parents are waiting outside the school in Beslan.

1. Duplicate

The number of hostages freed is reported different here, but these news stories are talking about the same event.
