Russian Special forces ended the three day takeover by Chechen rebels on

The gas was supposed to knock out the hostage takers as well as their

Braun says it's ''insane'' for the actor to answer questions on camera.
Blake is accused of murdering his wife, Bonny Lee Bakley, last year outside a restaurant.
A preliminary hearing is scheduled in December.
