Seventeen US Naval personnel were killed and thirty-nine wounded in the attack. Investigations suggested that a member of al-Qaeda, led by Osama Bin Laden, was behind the attack.

• 2004- Beslan, A group of thirty to thirty-five (sources varied) armed Chechen separatists(terrorist), including men and women, many wearing suicide bomber belts, seized a school in the Southern Russian town of Belsan taking children, parents, and teachers hostage in the school gym. At least ten of the hostage-takers appeared to be from Arab countries. Most sources originally estimated there were about 400 hostages. However, it was later revealed that there were between 1,000 and 1,500 being held. The attack occurs on the first day of school, a day of celebration in Russia when children and parents dress up and bring flowers to the new teachers. The attack occurred at the end of a ceremony attended by parents, teachers, and students of the school. The school houses classes ranging from grade one to eight. The militants had refused food and medical aid for the hostages. They had also refused to trade the children for two senior ranking government officials. They forced the children to stand at the windows of the school, as a human shield, and threatened to blow up the school if police stormed the building. They said they would kill fifty children for every one killed fighter and twenty for every injured fighter. They also claimed the building had been filled with mines that would be set off if police attempted to storm the building. According to hostages after the incident, the militants had adults dig up the floor boards of the gym, revealing weapons hidden there. This supports theories that the events were planned in advance and that the militants may have had inside help. Approximately sixty-five children and at least one adult had managed to escape from the school by hiding during the siege. The militants also released one hostage with a list of their demands, including the release of the freedom fighters detained over attacks on police facilities in Ingushetia in June. They also sought talks with regional officials, including the republic's president Aleksandr Dzasokhov and the head of Ingushetia, Murat Zyazikov, and a well-known pediatrician, Leonid Roshal, who aided the hostage during the seizure of a Moscow theater in 2002. Twenty-six hostages, including women and children, were released following preliminary negotiations with the former president of Ingushetia, Ruslan Aushev. On Sept. 2, the militants blew up a car that was passing too close to the school. One source reported that the militants had killed fifteen male hostages, but this was not confirmed by other sources. Interfax reported that the hostages had managed to make a phone call out of the school and described their conditions as tolerable. Interfax reported the Lenoid Roshal had arrived and was conducting talks with the militants. However, food, water, and medicine had still not been allowed in the building. The militants had also refused several other offers, including safe passage out of the country and to exchange the children for adult hostages. Officials were conducting talks with the militants, one of whom identified himself as representing the Second Group of Salakhim Riadus Shakhidi, a rebel band believed to be headed by Shamil Basayev. The group was believed to be led by the same individual, Magomet Yevloyev, who led the attacks against Ingushetia in June. The militants issued a set of five demands: 1. Putin signs the edict to stop the war in Chechnya 2. Russian troops are withdrawn from Chechnya 3. Chechnya joins CIS as an independent state 4. Chechnya remains in the ruble zone 5. The CIS peacekeeping forces are deployed in Chechnya and North Caucasus. The attack was being condemned around the world, including by Chechen university student and Muslim leaders. Aslan Maskhadov, a rebel leader living in exile, had also agreed to assist and denied involvement in the incident. On Sept. 3, Russian forces reached a deal with the militants to remove the dead bodies from around the school. However, while this was occurring, one of the militants opened fire and began detonating explosives. The initial explosion appears to have been caused when one of the explosives hanging on the basketball hoop in the gym fell and went off. Russian forces returned fire and blew a whole in the side of the building to help people escape. The firefight was intense at times and in the end, the roof of the building collapsed in a heap. Russian forces stormed the school and had reportedly killed about ten of the hostage takers. At least 400 hostages had escaped and been admitted to hospitals. However, the death toll remained unclear. Sources reported seeing over 100 bodies in the school gym and bodies elsewhere on the school grounds as well. It was unclear what had happened to the remaining hostage takers. Some appeared to have fled, trying to look like escaped hostages in order to blend in. Russian forces gained control of the school and were able to clear the room and disarm remaining mines. During the three-day siege, children and adults were allowed essentially no water and food and were kept in the 90 degree gym. In the aftermath of the attack, the official death toll reached 338 although unofficial figures were higher. At least 727 people remained hospitalized, some in grave condition. The total number of hostages is believed to have been around 1,200. Following the incident, the North Ossetian Minister Kazbek Dzantiyev was forced to resign. Shamil Basayev issued a statement claiming responsibility for the planning of the hostage taking along with the other recent attacks on Russian soil. Along with Basayev, at least ten other hostage takers have been identified. Vladimir Khodov, Arsen Merzhoyev, Mayrvek Shibikhanov, Bey-Alla Tsechoyev, Magomed Khochbarov, Issa Torshkhoyev, Khirir-Ali Akhmedov, Abdul-Azim Labazanov, and Nur-Pahi Kulayev who was the only one to be taken alive. Several of the hostage takers are believed to have been wanted for other crimes/terrorist acts. Some of the gunmen may also be family members of Basayev. Police were now actively searching for Basayev throughout Chechnya. The OSCE criticized Russian officials for limiting media coverage and providing an incorrect set of facts about the incident (for example saying that only 400 people were held hostage when it is known that at least 800 children attend Beslan School and almost all were inside the gym along with family members). A Russian parliamentary commission, which was set up, found in January 2005, that high-ranking military officials aided the gunmen in this attack. Two such officials were arrested. On 4 March 2005, Russian police killed five people and arrested four in a raid in southern Russia. All nine were suspected of helping to plan this attack.
