As I'm sure you all heard throughout the week, the tragedy in the Russian school came to a devastating end on Friday when the Russian hostage takers, protesting to get their troops out of Chechnya, were stormed by the Russian army in a bid to save the parents, children and teachers taken hostage. Children at the school had been celebrating the start of the new school year with parents and staff on Wednesday morning when the heavily-armed gang took them hostage. The death toll has reached 370, and President Vladimir Putin predicts there are still 200 more to be found, and over 400 still in hospital.
Today the people of Beslan have begun to bury their children and relatives, some of the hundreds massacred in the siege.
I would like to give my deepest sympathy to the friends and family of all the children, parents and teachers killed in this tragedy, and I hope that the killers are found soon - it might be some condolance. It was a very sad day.

And my condolences to all the people who've died, or lost loved ones in the tsunami near Thailand. It was devastating, but at least ofr once it wasnt the fault of human beings.

Yeah small comfort but at least this way people know it couldn't have been prevented. Less people may have died if they'd had a better warning system but the result would have been the same.

yes, they should have had a better warning system, but we cause so much terror, and at least it wasnt all our fault.
