The Bush administration, meanwhile, refused to criticize Russian special forces for using the gas, laying all of the blame for the deaths squarely on the captors. “We are working to ascertain all the facts and circumstances,” Bush spokesman Ari Fleischer said. “But as that information is developed the president feels very strongly that the people who caused this are the terror ists. “ Putin has said the theater raid was planned abroad, and the Russian Foreign Ministry alleged Monday that al-Qaida was involved. In a statement, the ministry said a Chechen conference that opened Monday in Denmark was organized “by Chechen ter rorists, their accomplices and their patrons from al-Qaida, who, as is now absolutely obvi ous, stand behind the monstrous terrorist act in Moscow.” It did not provide evidence. The statement came amid increasing criticism about the number of hostages killed at the theater and the way they died. Three top Moscow doctors revealed Sunday that many of the people found dead inside the theater were killed by the sleep ing gas, and they were not sure how to treat the survivors. Russian authorities did not tell medical officials what type of gas they pumped into the the ater shortly before special forces troops raided it early Saturday, chief Moscow doctor Andrei Seltsovsky said. A U.S. Embassy spokesman said Monday that Western doc tors had examined some of the former hostages and concluded “the agent they were exposed to appears consistent with an opiate rather than a nerve agent.” Russian officials have refused to tell the U.S. Embassy what exactly the gas was “despite repeated formal requests,” the spokesman said on condition of anonymity. The gas can paralyze breath ing, blood circulation, and car diac and Jiver functions, doctors said. The effects were worsened by the extreme conditions endured by the hostages during their 58-hour ordeal and by the chronic medical problems some suffered. cell phone, trying to dial and screaming that there was a man with a gun in the building. Police were at the scene within seconds. “A group of people were cry ing and running desperately to get out of the building,” Nigam said. “They were crying, tripping over one another, falling down.” Student Lori Schenkel said she had several classes with Flores and he told classmates about a year ago that he had got ten a concealed weapon permit. “He was just a very aggravat ed student, a rude, obnoxious type of person,” she said. “He came across as very aggressive and mean, and seemed to have a lot of issues with being angry.” Nurse William Gordon, who worked with Flores at the VA hospital and knew him for three years, said he saw nothing that would foreshadow violence. He said Flores dropped out of a nurs ing ethics class last semester and seemed upset, but it wasn't an unusual reaction. “I didn't pick up anything majorly confrontational with him regarding the instructor,” Gordon said. “Nothing that would alarm you.” Students were grieving the loss of their professors.

Napper said the al-Qaida movement that may have made some in-roads into Kazakhstan has receded since the U.S.’s strikes against the Afghanistan-based al-Qaida. Some programs implemented to help put Kazakhstan on the “diplomatic track” include financing and building an independent media, con tinuing the strong Peace Corps presence, providing pilot programs on civic duty and environmental ism, political party training, sponsoring of non governmental organizations, and continuing to express human rights concerns to the government, Napper said. Napper has been a career diplomat since 1974. He was serving as director of the Office of Soviet Affairs in the State Department when the Soviet Union fell in 1991. The office then changed its name to the Office of Independent States and Commonwealth Affairs. “Our goal was to establish embassies in every capital of the 15 countries emerging from the Soviet Union,” Napper said. “We were just able to meet our deadline of 90 days. To this day, Russia is the only other country who has maintained a diplomatic presence in every (former Soviet) country.” The four main goals of diplomacy Napper list ed are maintaining cooperation with Kazakhstan in the war on terror, assuring non-proliferation of nuclear, chemical, and biological warheads, ensuring that Kazakhstan and American investors are able to fully exploit the resources of the Caspian Sea, and providing for the development of democracy, civil liberties, and the rule of law. Napper’s visit comes soon after the China pres ident’s visit to the George Bush Presidential Library Complex last week. Dr. Charles Hermann, professor and associate dean of the Bush School, said A&M would con tinue to solicit political leaders and policy makers. “We intend to keep a steady stream of digni taries coming,” he said.
