Erm... the storming of the school was not planned.
Two cars approached the school, as agreed by negotiators, to pick up the bodies of those killed on Wednesday. For some reason, there was an explosion and a number of hostages made a break for it. The terrorists started shooting at the fleeing hostages (brave men and women shooting kids in the back as they ran away, eh?).
Police, and locals armed with small arms, returned fire at the terrorists and then a large fire-fight erupted. The Special Ops decided they had to storm to prevent the terrorists killing everyone.
This according to all the news I've seen since then. But, to be fair, I haven't checked Fox... :-)
