I did a bit of a search to see what images of the Beslan School Massacre were posted but couldn't find a thread that seemed to have much at all (although a thread might exist but is just generically named).
So, I'm setting up this thread that will contain only images and info from the Beslan Massacre. that happened way back in September 2004 in Beslan, North Ossetia.
"The Beslan school hostage crisis (also referred to as the Beslan school siege or Beslan massacre) of early September 2004 lasted three days and involved the capture of over 1,100 people as hostages (including 777 children), ending with the death of over 380 people. The crisis began when a group of armed separatist militants, mostly Ingush and Chechen, occupied School Number One (SNO) in the town of Beslan, North Ossetia (an autonomous republic in the North Caucasus region of the Russian Federation) on 1 September 2004
The hostage-takers were the Riyadus-Salikhin Battalion, sent by the Chechen separatist warlord Shamil Basayev, who demanded an end to the Second Chechen War and Russian withdrawal from Chechnya. On the third day of the standoff, Russian security forces entered the building with the use of tanks, incendiary rockets and other heavy weapons. At least 334 hostages were killed as a result of the crisis, including 186 children, with a significant number of people injured and reported missing."
Set 1.
1. Charred human remains in the school gymnasium.
2. Using incendiary bombs, the Russian forces probably cause the most deaths.
3.
4. Forensic workers inspect the human remains.
