Russians observe day of mourning in school seizure deaths

A numb Russia observed the first
national day of mourning for the more than 350 victims of
the terrorist school seizure on Monday, while desperate
families searched for the missing and foreign planes
delivered medical supplies to this grief-stricken southern
region neighboring Chechnya.
In Beslan, townspeople crowded around the coffins of
children, parents, grandparents and teachers ahead of the
120 burials scheduled in the town cemetery and adjoining
fields Monday.
