Prosecutors investigating the Beslan school hostage siege have uncovered no mistakes in the authorities' handling of the crisis, the head of the investigation said.A reconstruction of the September 2004 raid had established that police involved in the rescue operation did not bear any blame for the ensuing tragedy, Nikolai Shepel said. Victims' relatives say official incompetence contributed to the deaths of more than 330 people.
"The prosecutors are sticking to their version of events and ignoring victims' testimony," said Susanna Dudiyeva of the Beslan Mothers' Committee.
