Beslan Commission again delays the end of its work

The final date of the Parliamentary Commission on Beslan terror act is postponed, and they plan to hold the nearest sitting after the November holidays, Ms. Lyubov Sliska, First Vice-Speaker of State Duma told the Deputies today. "According to Alexander Torshin, chairman of the Commission, they've got plenty of additional materials. The Commission plans to hold their next sitting after the November holidays", Sliska said.

Sergey Popov, independent Duma deputy, declared earlier that the aim of Torshin's Commission was to blanch over the actions of the executive power.

We remind you that Deputy Saveliev published his Report named "Beslan: Hostages' Truth." According to the basic conclusions of the Report, the first and second explosions in the school gym and the fire were the results of the shots made from a flame thrower and grenade launcher from the five-storey buildings opposite the school. A great number of hostages in the gym died exactly as a result of these two initial explosions.
