Russian Investigative Committee reported that Belgian security forces aided in detention of Makhmudov
 Assisting in the detention Rustam Makhmudov, who is accused in the murder of 'Novaya Gazeta' journalist Anna Politkovskaya, were law enforcement agencies in Belgium, where he had previous been hiding, Investigative Committee (IC) spokesman Vladimir Markin told 'RIA Novosti' on Tuesday.
According to the spokesman, the alleged murderer of the well-known journalist was arrested in Chechnya on Tuesday on orders of the IC. He was caught during the course of searches conducted by FSB and MVD operatives. Markin stated that Makhmudov had previously been charged in absentia and placed on a detention list as well on the international wanted list.
«Contributing to the detention of Makhmudov was also assistance from law enforcement agencies in Belgium, where the accused was earlier hiding. After receiving information about the alleged whereabouts of Makhmudov, the chairman of IC personally traveled to Belgium on several occasions to consult with leaders of that country's law enforcement bodies in order to trace the whereabouts of the accused,» said Markin.

 In the US there was a premiere of ‘I Admit Guilt’ by Natalia Pelevina. The play is dedicated to the hostage seizure that took place at Moscow’s Dubrovka Square in 2002. Attending the premiere were even some of the relatives of those killed during the terrorist attack.
The whole show revolves around a dialogue between two women — a hostage and a suicide bomber. “This is a play about a woman’s view of the terrible events, and about how, in spite of civilization’s barriers, we really have so much in common,” the director told RIA Novosti. Natalia Pelevina admits that one of the main characters she created — the journalist Natasha, who by chance found herself among the hostages — was heavily influenced by the personality of Anna Politkovskaya, a well-known journalist who wrote political exposés and in her activities was very interested in the Chechen problem. According to investigators, leaders of the Chechen criminal underworld ordered her murder. The heroine on the play also tries to understand the worldview of the female terrorist who is preparing herself for death.

 Управляющие нами наместники от терроризма и террористов обычно извлекают больше эффектов и выгоды, чем от самих его жертв. Здесь мы имеем в виду не циничных наглецов, осмеливающихся финансировать терроризм с целью дестабилизации своих противников, хотя, как показывает практика, примеры такого приема решения не редки. В данном случае, речь попросту идет о влиянии и полезности крупных газет как официальных, так и частных, которые в массе своей несравнимо мало говорят о жертвах, пострадавших от террористических акций, нежели об их палачах.
Именно тема о недостаточности информации, предоставляемой о жертвах, пострадавших от террористических акций, и стала предметом обсуждения международного коллоквиума, прошедшего в Брюсселе, в пятницу, 11 марта. Коллоквиум был организован Генеральной Дирекцией европейской комиссии правосудия по инициативе европейских организаций по защите жертв терроризма. В их числе присутствовала ассоциация France-Europe-Beslan, которую мы имеем честь поддерживать. Помимо многочисленной французской делегации, возглавляемой Гийомом Денуа де Сан Марк, в коллоквиуме принимали участие около шестидесяти представителей делегатов от испанских, итальянских, нидерландских, британских ассоциаций. France-Europe-Beslan была представлена её президентом Кристианом Матон, а её бельгийская секция Георгом Упин.

A meeting scheduled for yesterday between Russian President Dmitri Medvedev and the mothers of children killed in the Beslan school failed to take place. This meeting was sought by the victims for several years, and its organizers were finally able to settle all the formalities, but still the ceremony was a miss.
Only two mothers traveled to the Kremlin: Susanna Dudiyeva and Elvira Tuayeva. Both represent the 'Beslan Mothers' organization. Representatives of 'Voice of Beslan' were not invited to the meeting.
Here is how the invitation took place: In February, the president flew to Vladikavkaz for a meeting of the National Counter-terrorist Committee. The road from the airport runs past the cemetery, where victims (of the September 2004 terrorist attack) are buried, and the president stopped there to honor their memory. Two women — Elvira Tuayeva and Mzia Kokoity — were able to approach Medvedev and exchange a few words with him. Others, however, were unable to get through, and remained outside the cordon with their handmade posters.

The Russian president promised relatives of victims of the Beslan terrorist attack that he will once again examine the investigation file, punish those who have not yet been brought to justice for the tragedy, and provide additional assistance to victims. These are the results of a meeting between Dmitry Medvedev and representatives of the 'Mothers of Beslan' non-governmental organization (NGO). Members of 'Voice of Beslan', another NGO that unites bereaved families, were surprised that they were not invited to the meeting with the president.
