During the conflict, many terrorist attacks happened during four years of war; one was at the Dubrovka Theater, in October,2002, when a commando of Chechen Rebels took the theater in Moscow for three days. On October 27, 2002, the Russian Army used a unknown gas to end the drama, causing many casualities.
