The European Court of Human Rights has ruled that Russia failed to protect the hostages of the Beslan school siege in which about 330 people died in 2004.
In the siege, Chechen rebels took more than 1,000 hostages, mostly children. The operation by Russian forces to end it used disproportionate force, the court added.
It also said that officials knew an attack was imminent but did not act.

The same kind of lying @$$hole$ said the same thing about 9/11. Something was up, but no details as to where, when or how. Do they really think that had specifics of the attack had been known that Spetznaz troops would not have been awaiting the Muslim terrorists' arrival and wiped them out?
Someone should have submitted 9/11 to this court. Jamie Gorelick would have been toast.
Sorry to pop your balloon, but this "Court" knows who's boot to lick.
“little girls were being taken off by terrorists & raped”
I am not challenging you but asking a sincere question.
Having spent a considerable amount of time looking into Beslan, I could never discover a first hand account or factual circumstance (medical, for instance) that verified the allegation of rapes.
Do you have a source or link? (And yes I see the assertion made quite often, I have never seen it made in the context of evidence).
I ask the same question I asked another poster, and I ask it sincerely and respectfully:
Can you point out where there is a factual basis for the rape charges? I have looked but have never been able to find one.
http://www.islam-watch.org/Others/Sexual-Terror-Untold-Stories-of-Beslan-Jihad.htm
But you said FACTUAL basis, and you mean something special.
If you require the Department of Rape to give a notarized confirmation of rape at Beslan, then I, too, will have to disappoint you.
The hostages were never getting out alive. Every hostage that came out alive was a life saved. The terrorists had bombs on dead man switches. What does that tell you?
It was an article, very detailed, that I read a long time ago, before I was saving links of such things (unfortunately).
Here’s one article that mentions it:
“At first the children were allowed to go to the nearby toilets one by one, under the close eye of the militants. Some accounts say many young girls were raped at this time.”
Beslan school survivor’s tale marks 10th anniversary of Russian terrorist attack

Another (GRAPHIC pics of bodies - I did not watch videos):
“For three days, more than a thousand children and adults were held hostage in a sweltering gymnasium, denied food and water, sexually abused, and forced to keep their hands over their heads.”
“...... Chechen Muslims, who held them hostage for three days. In a bloody climax, more than 380 people were massacred and many more injured, including children, in a series of explosions and firefights, not to mention many rapes and sexual assaults of children and teachers by the Muslim terrorists.”
I have never understood this concept of "disproportionate force", not during a terrorist-hostage situation. While the Russians used force ineffectively in the end, the problem was not that the amount of force was disproportionate, the problem was that the force failed.
It seems the phrase “disproportionate force” was from the BBC. That makes it sound like someone complaining about police being a bit rough. The verdict itself uses different language - “Though the decision to resort to the use of lethal force had been justified in the circumstances, such a massive use of explosive and indiscriminate weapons could not be regarded as absolutely necessary” and “powerful weapons such as tank cannon, grenade launchers and flame-throwers” had been used to free the school, contributing to the high number of casualties.
Not looking for notarized confirmation, just looking for some evidence like victims/families/authorities alluding to sexual assault.
Beslan is a critical topic, and one that needs to be shared (I believe) because it is a tactic that will be used again on a larger scale.
When I discuss it with people I want to be accurate so I do not lose credibility.
