Russian authorities have detained two people on suspicion of being linked to terrorists who held more than 1,000 people hostage in a school in September.

Nikolai Shepel, Russia’s deputy prosecutor general and head of the investigation into the September 1 to 3 seizure of the school in Beslan, North Ossetia, said a 16-year-old resident of neighbouring Ingushetia has been detained on charges of possible links to the terrorists.
