Beslan Voice leader resentful of examination results

Beslan Voice Committee Chairwoman Ella Kesayeva is resentful of the results of the situational examination which has found no violations in the actions of the operations headquarters and law enforcement and security agencies during the terrorist act in Beslan.

"It is news to me," Ms Ella Kesayeva told Radio Echo of Moscow. "How can they know that? What tests are under way? So it turns out that there is no need for a trial?"

We remind that Russian Deputy Prosecutor General Nikolai Shepel told Interfax earlier today that a situational examination with respect to the Beslan terrorist act case had not revealed any violations in the actions of the operations headquarters and law enforcement and security agencies.

In the actions of the leadership of the operations headquarters and units of the Internal Affairs Ministry, the ministry's interior troops, the Special Centre of the Federal Security Service, and Civil Defence and Emergencies Ministry, the examination commission sees no violations that would have a causative relation to the harmful after-effects which resulted from the terrorist act in Beslan on 1-3 September 2004.
