Beslan Anniversary Stirs Fears.
(From The Moscow Times)
With the second anniversary of the Beslan tragedy stoking fears about school safety, authorities are promising better security at the nation's education facilities.
"In every region, work is being done to prepare schools for the upcoming classes," said Viktor Bolotov, head of the Federal Service for Inspection of Education and Science. "This work is taking place practically around the clock."
Bolotov, speaking with reporters earlier this week, added that about 1 percent of the country's schools would not open their doors Friday because concerns about fire safety linger.
Chechen terrorists seized the Beslan school Sept. 1, 2004, taking more than 1,100 hostages. The seizure ended Sept. 3, 2004, when a shootout engulfed a gymnasium packed with hostages. The attack left 332 people, more than half of them children, dead.
The terrorists drove into the town, in North Ossetia, in broad daylight, past police checkpoints.
