Chechen terrorists attacked a school in Beslan, does that qualify as terrorism?
Bassayev was exactly who I was thinking of, we've given him political asylum, he's currently in Poland pending extradition.
Loved some of the weasley answers, thanks! LOL.
Thing is we reguarly bomb Pakistan to attack our enemies, that apparently is justifiable, the strikes are "surgical" it's just the hole they leave behind that's a bit messy.
Given the accusation that we are fighting a foreign war with "one hand tied behind our back" (as I've often heard said) what would be the result of an escalation?

Thinking back a few years, a 'terrorist' blew up a plane over the Caribbean and killed more than 50 people. He found sanctuary in the USA. His victims were Cubans and he was deemed a freedom fighter.
Reagen funded The Contras in Nicaragua and they were out to overthrow a democratically elected government.

"J t P has said it better than I did , the Russians have a lot to answer for in Chechnya , their idea of a terrorist would not be the same as ours, that is why he has been granted political refugee status."
Absolutely. Akhmed Zakayev is not a terrorist. he fought in the Chechen wars against the Russian invaders in a conflict recognised by the international community as a war for national independence, but which the Russian propaganda machine would like us to think was banditry inspired by religious fanaticism. I know many of the people who fought in those wars and the vast majority were ordinary people who, rightly or wrongly, took up arms in the name of their country.
Zakayev was granted political asylum in Britain after a judicial extradition hearing at which it was shown that the charges against him were dubious to say the least (the person he was accused of murdering turned up in court and actually testified on his behalf!!)
Since then the Russian have tried to associate him with terrorist atrocities carried in the country, but with zero plausibility,.
I am not aware that Britain is harbouring any terrorist, and certainly not anyone against whom a "surgical strike" could be justified. That, of course, does not prevent dubious regimes like Russia's, which consist of criminals and corrupt politicians, carrying out revenge attacks on their enemies abroad. And if you are asking should we support that then, not surprisingly, I am going to say "no"

"Chechen terrorists attacked a school in Beslan, does that qualify as terrorism?

You are talking gibberish. Shamil Basayev, largely believed to have been behind the Beslan siege, was killed years ago.
You are probably thinking of Akhmend Zakayev, who lives in Britain and who, at the time of your question, was attending a conference in Poland when the Russians decided to try to extradite him, as they periodically do, on trumped up charges of "terrorism". I suspect that they do this, not because they have any hope of success, but because by raising the issue they hope that all constitutional Chechen opposition will be discredited and associated with fanatical terrorist resistance. Plainly you are the sort of person who falls hook, line and sinker for such tactics.
