I suppose there's some folks out there that are so intent on defending Islamic extremists that they'd claim that what happened in Beslan was either 1) justifiable or 2) the act of covert Russian agents.
Don , how did you come to that conclusion from what I wrote ?
I never realised Beslan school was really a Moscow housing block .

So quite simply , why would a government agency be attacking its own population by bombing them in their own homes and blaming it on extremist terrorists if not to make its population even more scared of extremist terrorist ?
Surely the terrorist are scary enough as they are without you carrying out your own attacks to make your population even more afraid .
