Beslan shows growing Islamist influence in Chechen war

Article Abstract:

The suicide bomb attacks in Russia mark the culmination of a year of terrorist incidents that underline the extent to which the war in Chechnya is resulting in a conflict, an Islamist terrorist campaign aimed at destablishing Russia and breaking its southern Muslim regions from Moscow's grasp. The attacks demonstrate the extent to which the Russian administration has failed to deal with the Chechen crisis on either a military or political level and has no answers to forestall further terrorist attacks.
