Euronews: Russia marks 15 years since deadly Beslan school siege

A memorial service to commemorate the 15th anniversary of the Beslan school siege in which more than 330 people died, the majority of them children, will be held in Moscow on Sept. 3.

On September 1, 2004, 30 heavily armed Chechen separatists stormed School Number One in the Russian town of Beslan, in North Ossetia.

More than 1,100 people, including children and parents attending a back-to-school ceremony, were taken hostage.
