| 2004-10-14 |
| Investigators found out that perpetrators and organizers of the hostage-taking in Beslan are involved in some other terrorist acts in Russia, deputy prosecutor general in the Southern Federal District Nikolai Shepel said on Wednesday. "Shamil Basayev and Aslan Maskhadov were organizers (of the terrorist act in Beslan — Itar-Tass)," the television channel Rossia cited him as saying. Meanwhile, the deputy prosecutor general noted that "there are other persons" who coordinated the organisation of terrorist acts. Among such terrorist acts Nikolai Shepel called not only the attack on Beslan, but also on Ingushetia and an explosion near the restaurant McDonalds in Moscow. |
