"Beslan Mothers": part seven of Saveliev's report is completely objective

The victims agree with all the conclusions of part seven of the alternative report of Yuri Saveliev, a State Duma deputy and member of the parliamentary commission for investigating the reasons and circumstances of the Beslan terror act, Susanna Dudieva, chairperson of the "Beslan Mothers" Committee, told the correspondent of the "Caucasian Knot."

Part seven of the deputy's report contains data of a much greater number of terrorists who seized the Beslan school that the official version of the investigation gives. According to Saveliev's conclusions based on evidences of former hostages, witnesses and materials of the trial of Nurpashi Kulaev, the only terrorist-survivor, the militants were not 32 in number, as the prosecutor's office asserts, but almost twice as that - from 56 to 78 bandits.

The "Caucasian Knot" informed earlier that on the eve of the second anniversary of the Beslan tragedy, Yuri Saveliev made public the previous parts of his alternative report named "Hostages' Truth." In particular, they study the nature of explosions in the school, and the reason of the first explosion.
