The Beslan survivors' decade of hell: Ten years since the horrific school siege, how the children caught up in it are still suffering
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2739729/The-Beslan-survivors-decade-hell-Ten-years-horrific-school-siege-children-caught-suffering-five-case-studies.html
Exactly a decade after the appalling Beslan school siege in which 334 perished, including 186 children, the heroic survivors warned last night of a new apocalypse in Ukraine.
When fanatic Islamic terrorists kidnapped and killed children and parents on 1 September 2004, at the start of a new term, it seemed like the nadir of all evil.
The tragedy united east and west in revulsion, which amazingly then turned to action and hope for the future in the direst misery.
It has been 10 years. It felt like yesterday as I remember Beslan well. Horrible. :( :bawl:
