The Beslan school hostage crisis (also referred to as the Beslan school siege or

Beslan massacre)[2][3][4] began when a group of armed rebels, demanding an end

to the Second Chechen War, took more than 1,100 people (including some 777

children[5]) hostage on September 1, 2004, at School Number One (SNO) in the

town of Beslan, North Ossetia-Alania, an autonomous republic in the North

Caucasus region of the Russian Federation. On the third day of the standoff,

Russian security forces stormed the building.[6] A series of explosions shook

the school, followed by a fire which

engulfed the building and a chaotic gunbattle between the terrorists

and Russian security forces. Ultimately, at least 334 hostages were

killed, including 186 children.[7][8] Hundreds more were wounded or reported

missing.

The hostage taking was carried out by Riyadus Salihiin lead by Shamil Basayev

who was an independent warlord at the time. The tragedy led to security

and political repercussions in Russia, most notably a series of government

reforms consolidating power in the Kremlin and strengthening of the powers of

President of Russia.[9] As of 2008, there are many aspects of the crisis still

in dispute,

including how many militants were involved, their preparations, and

whether some of them had escaped. Questions about the government's

management of the crisis have also persisted, including disinformation and

censorship in news media, repressions of journalists who rushed to Beslan,[10]

the nature and content of negotiations with the militants, the responsibility

for the bloody outcome, and the government's use of possibly excessive

force.[11][12][13][14][6]
