Sole survivor of Beslan militant group on trial

Tom Parfitt

MOSCOW: The sole survivor of the gang of armed militants who carried out the Beslan school siege went on trial amid tight security in southern Russia on Tuesday.

More than 330 persons died in the siege after the group stormed the school on September 1 last year, taking about 1,100 children, parents and teachers hostage and holding them in a gymnasium rigged with explosives.

Russia's security services have said they killed all other militants at the scene, leaving Nurpashi Kulayev (24) as the sole person who can provide detailed information on how the attack was prepared. Kulayev looked scared as he was led in to the Supreme Court of South Ossetia. —
