A Russian investigator has said grenades fired by surrounding Russian forces could have triggered the Beslan school bloodbath in September 2004.

Yuri Savelyev's conclusions contradict the official view that bombs planted by the hostage-takers in the school gym went off just before the gun battle.

Mr Savelyev is a member of the Russian parliamentary commission investigating the siege, in which 331 people died.

Many of the victims were children, taken hostage by pro-Chechen militants.

Sounds almost like our own govt findings related to the Waco events.
Nah, we had to kill them to save them.

grenades fired through openings don't take down reinforced buildings.

No, the muzzie terrorists caused the tragedy when they took over the school building in the first place.

Looks like they've got liberals over there also.

Next he'll be saying that it's the childrens' fault. If they hadn't been there the terrorists wouldn't have had to take them hostage.

No, but they can act as an ignighter of explosives.
Obviously the rebels brought in explosives. This article reports on how they were possibly or probaby set off.

Not minimizing the rebels guilt, just wondering how big of boobs the security forces were.
Like I said, it sure sounds familiar to Waco.

Islam caused the entire tragedy and the entire world of islam alone is totally responsible.

I did not read the ruskie's site, but who would use a grenade that would likely detonate explosives in a hostage situtation? Even a layman knows not to toss frags or concussions into a scenario like that. Maybe a smoke and grab.
But thank G-d the Chechneyan's aren't responsible. For a while there, I thought they were gonna get the blame. I think the disclaimer was lost in the article "This research sponsored by Rebels without a brain,the entire democratic party of the USA and one NY paper which will remain anonymous".

My question is... did the Russian troops attack not knowing that the place was booby trapped? Clearly a grenade would blow a terrorist off of his trip wire.

I'm not with the media, so let's fix this.

THE TERRORISTS CAUSED THE BESLAN MASSACRE.

Sounds to me like historical revisionism. The children murdered at Beslan weren't killed by shrapnel from grenades, they were killed by bullets fired by these murderers.

How good is their training?
The f.b.i.,a.t.f. and the russian security forces?
Does Russia have their version of Lon Horiuchi?

Right, muzzies CAUSED tragedy. Reminds me of Rush pointing out media accounts about "SUV runs over crowd of children", as if the SUV needn't have a driver.

I seem to recall eyewitness accounts from hostages that said the grenades in the auditorium went off first..
Some of the hostages actually escaped through holes blown in the school walls by the grenades strung up on the walls by the terrorists..

If I am recalling correctly, that would put a lie to this report / article...

Oh my furry nuts...."could have"?.....The only reason this "investigator" is in print is because our own MSM journalism has fallen to a level that makes Pravda look like insightful....does ANYONE believe this bologna from BBC anymore?
