(AP) - Relatives of slain hostages pray and hold portraits, as they mourn outside a theatre in Moscow, Wednesday, Oct. 26, 2005, which Chechen gunmen seized in October, 2002, during the second act of the musical 'Nord-Ost' and took about 800 people hostage in an audacious attempt to prod Russian authorities into ending the war in Chechnya. Russian special forces pumped a narcotic gas into the theater to knock out the hostage-takers, and then stormed the building, killing all 40 hostage-takers; 129 hostages died, almost all from the effects of the gas.
