Russian officers arrested over Beslan siege
2005-01-30
A Russian parliamentary commission has found two high-ranking Russian military officers helped gunmen to seize a primary school in the city of Beslan last September. The chair of the commission says two highly-ranked military officials have been arrested after allegations they provided assistance to the gunmen. He says other officials, who are ranked major and above, may also be charged. It is speculated that they could have helped the gunmen indirectly by allowing them to pass through police checkpoints. Despite the allegations, those under suspicion remain in their posts.

#3  Notice how this article very carefully uses the term 'gunmen' and not 'muslims' or 'terrorists', 'rapist', or 'murderers' as if it was only a local criminal gang waving some guns around and not some islamic muslim extreamist terrorists who raped children, and bayonetted innocent babies.

Damn MSM is almost as guilty as these officers.

#2  There is no suggestion this is other than routine bribery.

Perish the thought that these maggots should be deemed a threat to the public weal without having first undergone due process. Where is not-so-gentle touch of RasPutin's heavy hand? Russia is so busy screwing itself, it's a wonder they even have time to make trouble abroad.
