The Nord-Ost hostage-takeover that claimed 130 lives in October 2002 was organized and financed by the owner of Prima-Bank, who was among 52 terrorists appointed by Chechenseparatist leader Shamil Basayev. According to new developments in the investigation into the terrorist attack, the prime suspect thought to have organized the storming of the theater in southern Moscow, where over 900 people were watching the Nord-Ost musical, was known as Abu Bakar. He has been identified as Chechen-born Ruslan Elmurzayev, who headed the economic security service at Moscow's Prima-Bank and was practically its owner, the Izvestia daily reported, citing undisclosed sources. To finance the siege, he took out anywhere from $10,000 to $30,000 in loans from his bank, according to the investigation being conducted by the Moscow City Prosecutor's Office. Investigators were able to find the money trail that led to Prima-Bank after identifying the 42 terrorists who were directly involved in the attack on the theater. Tuesday marked the second anniversary of the theater siege, the deadliest after this September's school hostage-takeover in Beslan, where over 330 people died.
