It is possible that the government deliberately underrreported the number because they were trying to keep the locals calm, or it is possible that they reported what they had confirmed, and weren't sure about the rest.

No the locals would have know the number of hostages that were there, the Russian Government was clearly trying to hide the numbers form the rest of the country. |

They said the media was controlled and not allowed to broadcast the situation and played a soap opera instead. The locals knew the real score and thats why they took up arms and went in on their own.
Media control in Russia doesnt suprise me but its an insight into why the local did what they did. |

Damn straight! Think about what YOU would like for the Chechnyan Terrorists to KNOW about YOUR assessment of the situation! I'd play my hand very, very close to the vest! F'rinstance what if they Terrorists had only rounded up half the folks who were there, and they kept hearing a higher number of hostages being cited by the government in broadcasts? They might go looking for some folks they had previously overlooked! This is NOT LYING! Get with the program, folks! Eric The(Perturbed)Hun
