Vladikavkaz, Russia ? The house of one of the Moscow theater hostage-takers was blown up Friday, in apparent retaliation for her involvement in the raid.

Aset Gishnurkayeva was killed in a raid to free the hostages after a 58-hour standoff. She lived in the Chechen town of Achkhoi-Martan, local officials said.

It was not clear who blew up the house and no one claimed responsibility. But Achkhoi-Martan administrator Shamil Burayev told the Interfax news agency that armed men in camouflage uniforms entered the house early Friday and told two women and two children to get in a car outside.

They were driven a short distance from the house and were told to get out of the vehicle, Burayev said. The house then exploded, he said.

Burayev linked the blast to the seizure of more than 800 hostages by Chechen gunmen in a theater on Oct. 23. They threatened to blow up the building unless Russia ended the war in Chechnya.

Officials said 128 hostages were killed, nearly all from the effects of knockout gas Russian authorities pumped into the building shortly before special forces launched the raid.

Prosecutors say that 41 militants were killed.

Abdul-Khakim Sultygov, the presidential human rights envoy to Chechnya, criticized the destruction of the house. “It is absolutely unacceptable,” he told Echo of Moscow radio.
