Beslan children recount horror in court

Beslan Children who survived the Beslan atrocity in Russia testified for the first time in the trial of the only suspected attacker who survived.

Alan Tzgoyev, 12, told the court he had seen defendant Nur-Pashi Kulayev in the gym where assailants held hundreds of children and adults hostage at School No 1 in the North Ossetia town of Beslan.

At least 330 people died in the attack last September. Kulayev has pleaded not guilty to charges including terrorism and murder.
