"Up to 30 armed men held hundreds of people inside a Moscow theater staging a musical late Wednesday, firing shots in the air, police and news agencies said. "

"Interfax news agency, one of whose reporters was in the theater at the time, said the gunmen had let members of the audience make phone calls and allowed children to be released. Muslim members of the audience attending the production of "North-East" were also allowed to leave, Interfax said. Police said they had as yet received no demands from the gunmen. Reports say 20 to 30 gunmen had seized the theater, known as the former House of Culture in Melnikov Street in southeast Moscow. Neighboring buildings were being evacuated."

And their motive is....

Money?
Power?
Revenge?
Political?

I'm guessing Chechen rebels, but that's just my guess.

Agreed...and tired of tip toe'ing about "offending" them.  Profile them?  Absolutely!
