In December 2002, which terrorist organization took 700 hostages in a Moscow theater?

  1. Taliban

  2. Chechen Rebels

  3. Al' Qaeda

  4. Islamic State

The correct answer is: Chechen Rebels

In December 2002, the Taliban, Al' Qaeda, and Islamic State were not the ones responsible for taking 700 hostages in a Moscow theater. The Taliban is a Sunni Islamic fundamentalist political movement that mostly operates in Afghanistan, while Al' Qaeda is a militant Islamist group that was responsible for the 9/11 attacks. The Islamic State, also known as ISIS, was founded in 2014 and did not exist in 2002. Therefore, the correct answer is B Chechen Rebels, a separatist group that operated in the Russian republic of Chechnya.
