Russian prosecutors' probe clears authorities over Beslan school siege

Russian prosecutors investigating last year's bloody school hostage siege in the southern town of Beslan have uncovered no mistakes in the authorities' handling of the crisis, the official leading the probe said Tuesday.

Deputy Prosecutor-General Nikolai Shepel said in comments released by his office that a reconstruction of the events of the September 2004 raid had established that police and other security forces involved in the rescue operation did not bear any blame for the ensuing tragedy.

Relatives of the victims, who have accused the authorities of incompetence over the deaths of more than 330 people and mounting a cover-up, responded angrily.

"We didn't expect anything else, the prosecutors are sticking to their version of events and ignoring victims' testimony," Susanna Dudiyeva, head of the Beslan Mothers' Committee, told The Associated Press.

The prosecutors' conclusions sharply differ from those of an earlier probe by a regional legislative panel that blamed authorities for botching rescue efforts and urged that those responsible be punished.

Militants attacked School No. 1 on September 1, 2004 _ the first day of school _ taking more than 1,100 children, parents and staff hostage and herding them into the gymnasium, which they rigged with explosives.

Most of the 331 people who died _ including 186 children _ were killed in the explosions and gunfire that ended the three-day drama.

The rebels, who were demanding that Russian troops withdraw from the nearby breakaway province of Chechnya, crossed heavily policed territory to reach the school, and victims' relatives are convinced they received help from corrupt officials.

The hostages' families have also been deeply critical of the flawed rescue operation, saying hostages died needlessly because special forces used flame-throwers, grenade launchers and tanks against the militants.

But Shepel said the security forces and rescue personnel had all acted appropriately.

"According to the conclusions of the investigation, the expert commission did not find ... any violations that could be responsible for the harmful consequences that resulted from the terrorist act in Beslan," the prosecutor said.

However, Shepel added that the experts had concluded that the system for preventing terrorist acts in Russia did not provide sufficient protection for the country's population.

Dudiyeva called for top officials involved in the rescue operation to be punished.

"You need to punish those who did not carry out their duties properly. Our children are no longer with us," she said.

There are three Russian investigations into the hostage-taking _ one already completed by the regional parliament, and two ongoing by the Prosecutor General's office and the national parliament.
