Russian authorities braced for Beslan siege revenge attacks as mourning period ends

Tanik Koizev vows that tomorrow he will kill a member of the rival Ingush ethnic group to avenge the more than 330 people - more than half of them children - who died in the maelstrom of gunfire and explosions. Last week, he finally buried his niece, after a delay in identifying her disfigured body.

The September 3 attack was carried out by militants with links to Chechen rebels, some of whom came from the province of Ingushetia, which borders the province of North Ossetia where the siege took place.
