Beslan Tragedy
On September 1, 2004, at about 9.00 a.m. Moscow time, a group of about 30 gunmen seized School 1in Beslan, North Ossetia, 30 km from the capital, Vladikavkaz. The terrorists took schoolchildren and parents hostages and drove them into a gym. More than 1,000 children and adults were taken hostages. Apparently, one or more of the female assailants so called Black Widows blew themselves up in the gym where the hostages were being kept. The gym was also apparently wired with explosives. Thirty or so hostages made a run for it, and were shot at. The culmination of that was an assault of Russian special forces, which used helicopters, tanks, and armored cars.
