Soddies took part in Beslan
Russia has determined that the Islamic takeover of a high school in which nearly 400 people were killed was executed and financed by Saudi nationals. Russian officials said authorities have confirmed that Saudi nationals were among the 32 attackers who captured the high school in Beslan in August. They said the attack was financed in part by a Saudi charity and planned by Saudi nationals who joined the Chechen revolt a decade ago. "There is no Saudi government link," an official said. "But we are sure that Saudi nationals and Saudi money contributed to this terrorist attack." The Saudis were joined by Jordanians and Syrians recruited by Al Qaida-aligned operatives in the Middle East, officials said. They said Al Qaida has provided the ideology for the Chechen revolt, led by Shamil Basayev.Posted by: Dan Darling 2004-09-27 |
