The Chechen War

News Reports from Beslan

by admin on Sep.05, 2004, under Beslan Seige

Foreign video taken during the terrorist siege of a middle school in Beslan Russia. At least 330 people were killed over three days, including 172 small children. In this footage we see the “rescue” operation, the Russian security forces and Spetsnaz storming the school. Reports are conflicted on who ordered the attack, the Russian authorities blame locals for storming the school, but as we have seen in the past, those in charge were concerned more with squashing the threat than the safety of those at risk. Did the call come down from Putin to attack? We do know that the Russians lied to the Chechens about sendin high ranking negotiators that were supposed to be there that day, perhaps to buy time for the attack to be planned and carried out. Opinions will most likely vary depending on your allegiance.
