"Beslan Terror Attack"

"Remembrance Roses" BESLAN, RUSSIA: Sept. 6 -- Devastated by a hostage crisis, in which Chechen militants killed nearly 350 school children and their parents after holding 1200 captive for three days at a local school--the second highest death toll of any terrorist attack in modern history, after America's 9/11--shocked survivors bury the dead, grieve, and here place remembrance roses along the window of the destroyed school in Beslan, Russia.
