Introduction
The Chechen conflict is the background to the attack on a school in Beslan. The hostage takers demanded the withdrawal of Russian troops from Chechnya, the release of rebel detainees and the resignation of Vladimir Putin, the Russian president. Their demands were not met. The bloody aftermath of the hostage taking left 394 dead and 704 injured. More than half the victims were children. A whole town is traumatised.
