322 People, Including 155 Children, Killed in Russian School
Some 322 people, including 155 children, were killed in the three-day hostage siege in a southern Russian school on the edge of Chechnya, said Russia's Deputy Prosecutor General Sergei Fridinsky. "We are still identifying the bodies. We have recovered 322 bodies, 155 of them are children," Fridinsky told reporters. "These are not the final figures, and they will probably grow, but not by too much." **PHOTO CAPTION*** Emergency workers clean up the destroyed sport hall of a school in Beslan, North Ossetia, Friday, Sept. 3, 2004.
