19 terror acts in North Ossetia in 20 years

The experts of the Rostov-based medical-legal laboratory are studying the DNA of the unknown woman who perished in the explosion of the fixed-route taxi near the Central marketplace in the capital of North Ossetia on November 6.

In the opinion of law enforcement bodies, she could well be a shahid (suicide bomber) who blew herself up at the station. Neither the Investigatory Committee nor the Ministry of Internal Affairs of North Ossetia gave any comments yet on the investigation of the terror act and the person of the lost woman.

In the course of the last twenty years, almost the same number of terror acts have been accomplished in the territory of north Ossetia, 3 of them with capture of hostages, and 16 were explosions. By the number casualties, the most monstrous is still the terror act in September 2004, when in the school captured by terrorists 344 persons were lost, including 186 children.

The history of terror acts dates back to December 1, 1988, when in the city of Ordzhonikidze (nowadays - Vladikavkaz) a group of armed criminals captured a bus with 30 pupils of secondary school No. 42 and their class teacher. The terrorists asked for a huge sum of money in foreign cash and an aircraft to fly to Israel. At the airport of Mineralnye Vody the terrorists agreed to release the children and the teacher, and on December 2, having taken the crew of the aircraft Il-76 as hostages, they landed in Tel Aviv. The authorities of Israel later returned the criminals to the Soviet party.
