Seven years ago today the siege at a school in Beslan North Ossettia by Islamic militants, who took over 1,100 hostages, began. The siege ended three days later with the death of over 334 hostages, 186 of them children. Many more were injured and a number remain missing. This, like the many other such crimes, must never be forgotten.

Beslan was a terrible tragedy, but it looks as if the men at the apex of the Russian political elite - Medvedev, Putin and Moscow Mayor Sobyanin - were quite happy to issue plenty of warm words in praise of Islam at the end of Ramadan, despite parts of central Moscow being brought to a halt for the second year running: http://durotrigan.blogspot.com/2011/09/russian-political-elite-capitulates-to.html
