Remembering Beslan Seven Years On

 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 - five years ago today

Lest we forget, lest we ever forget

The survivors

On the eastern fringe of Europe, these were victims of a war, which has been declared, and which we will all one day be fighting.
