Fury as probe clears authorities over Beslan seige
Relatives of Beslan school siege victims declared their outrage as Russian prosecutors refused to blame security forces for the deaths of 331 hostages during a police raid.
The comments from Deputy Prosecutor General Nikolai Shepel differed sharply from last month’s report by a regional legislative panel that accused Russian authorities of botching rescue efforts and urged that those responsible for the September 3 2004, bloodbath be punished.
