AP News Alert:
MOSCOW (AP) Head of Russian parliamentary commission investigating last year's Beslan school siege says negligence and carelessness by officials allowed terrorists to capture hostages.
Just who are we talking about here? The actual
story has more:
"According to the conclusions of the investigation, the expert commission did not find ... any violations that could be responsible for the harmful consequences that resulted from the terrorist act in Beslan," the prosecutor said.
However, Shepel added that the experts had concluded that the system for preventing terrorist acts in Russia did not provide sufficient protection for the country's population.
Dudiyeva called for top officials involved in the rescue operation to be punished.
"You need to punish those who did not carry out their duties properly. Our children are no longer with us," she said.
This is Russian for "You should have connected the dots." I wonder if the Russians would have any problem with their authorities tapping calls from the enemy without a warrant...
