  • Story Text: Muscovites observe a moment of silence for victims
    of Beslan school siege.


    Muscovites observed a moment of silence at 9am on
    Thursday (September 9) for the victims of Beslan tragedy
    which took lives of 326 people, half of them children.

    People stopped in the streets, cars gave signals and
    put on lights.

    The event was organised by local press.

    Just ten days ago Moscow itself was shocked by a blast
    at the busy Rizhskaya metro station. Nine people died at
    the spot and one young man died later in a Moscow hospital.

    Nearly a week after the Beslan school siege,
    Muscovites continue to bring flowers, teddy bears and
    bottles of water to the steps of the North Ossetian
    representative office in central Moscow.
