Beslan

Orthodox bishop proposes building church in place of Beslan school

And from The Caucasus, a religious powder keg after Beslan: The Christian witness of an evangelical pastor who, after losing two daughters, calls for forgiveness.:
    "Zalina, who was a hostage in the school, lost a son. She relates how in the first days, as terrorists started killing some adults, children began praying aloud to beg them to stop. 'A woman with a gun and explosives attached to her waist then came in,' she recalls. 'She went to the children and told them "Stop praying to your God! Start praying to Allah!”'"
