Bush condoles Beslan deaths

By Sridhar Krishnaswami

Washington: The U.S. President, George W. Bush, visited the Russian embassy here on Sunday to sign a book of condolences for the victims of the school siege in Beslan. He expressed outrage at the actions of the "evil terrorists. The atrocities that took place in the school were beyond comprehension. Many in America and, I know, many Russians cannot conceive the heart of a person who could mow down innocent children. The killers once again remind us of the duties we have as free people to work in concert, in unity, to make this world a better place," he told reporters. Mr. Bush said that the U.S. stood "shoulder-to-shoulder" with the Russians in the fight against terrorism.
