From: MSN NicknameEagle_wng (Original Message) Sent: 8/30/2006 4:16 PM Beslan Children Were Murdered by Russian Terrorists from the FSB Publication time: 28 August 2006, 20:57 A member of the Russian parliamentary commission for investigation of the hostage crisis in Beslan has published a report confirming that the Russian terrorist organization FSB had fired rocket-propelled grenades at the school with children and that no child was ever killed by the Mujahideen. The Novaya Gazeta newspaper published the report titled "Beslan: Hostages' Truth" by Urii Saveliev, a scientist specializing in physics of explosions. The author reported that the first two blasts in the school, which killed most of the hostages, were caused by the explosive projectiles fired from the 5-th floor of the building across the street. In other words, it proves the information provided by Mujahideen that the blood bath in the Beslan school was caused by a deliberate action of the Russian secret service ... >> full...

Chechen POWs Went on Hunger-Strike in a Russian Death Camp
Publication time: 27 August 2006, 11:21
In one of numerous Russian death camps, in Ryazan Region in central Russian, a group of Chechen prisoners of war entered a hunger-strike, reports a human rights group, Civil Society Center.
The Russian invaders do not recognize a POW status under the Geneva Convention for the soldiers and military personnel of the Armed Forces of the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria. In gross violation of the Geneva Convention, the Russian keep the Chechen soldiers in camps and prisons for criminals.
The Chechens are subject to cruel, inhuman treatment and insults from prison and concentration camp guards, especially in Ryazan and Pskov Regions of Russia. The guards say that they revenge their fellow bandits from local gangs "Paratroopers" eliminated by Chechen soldiers in military operations some years ago, several Russian newspapers report.
