What did the Ministry of Internal Affairs to Beslan, during and after

From the service police correspondence: the terrorist attack could be prevented: it was 3 hours in stock

The internal documents of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation, covering the period from September 2 to 23, 2004, came to us by accident. Only official interest in them has a lot or for a long time everyone has known everyone. However, part of the information is certainly socially significant. First of all, the details and the spirit of the investigation that can help society answer the issues fundamental for our lives: how intellectual was the investigation of the attack in the first, determining for this three weeks? How did you look for accomplices and perpetrators? What operational information was considered a priority?

Let me remind you that in September 2004 the Ministry of Internal Affairs headed, according to the presidential decree, the "counter -terrorist operation in the North Caucasus."

There were three whole hours left!

“... I am reporting,” the report “On Events on the Discovered of a Terrorist Action on September 1 - 3, 2004” says ” (document No. 2), - that at 8.00 09/08/2004 ... Work is being carried out to verify information that on September 1, 2004, a citizen Arsamikov was detained in Shali at 5 a.m. in the city of Shali. During the work, Arsamikov said that it is planned to capture the school in Beslan ... ”.

These are no longer rumors that someone warned about the attack. This is a documentary confirmation that at 5 a.m. on September 1, the Ministry of Internal Affairs (Arsamikov was interrogated in the Shali District Department of Internal Affairs, Chechnya) knew that it was in Beslan that the school was planned. What followed this?

Among whom did you look for the first day after the assault?

Among the "extremists". A significant part of the reports is devoted to the struggle "with extremist sentiments."

“... 09/07/2004 at 11.00 hours. on pl. Freedom of the city of Vladikavkaz near the building of the October film concert hall held an unauthorized rally dedicated to tragic events on September 1–3 in Beslan. The total number of those present is about 500 people. One of those present at the rally, Tijiev Zaur Vyacheslavovich, born in 1975, <...> from the rostrum called for the forcibly overthrow of power in the republic, in his speech used the slogan "President of Russia - the main Nazi." Tijiev Z.V. Detained, the prosecutor's office of the Iristonian district opened a criminal case under Art. 280 of the Criminal Code. <...> ”(from the document No. 4).

“I’m reporting,” is listed in the next certificate (document No. 5), “that the operational divisions of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the North Ossetia-A, OG (Operape.-A.P.) of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia, together with Rosh (regional operational headquarters.-A.P.) <...> are taken to prevent extremist manifestations and destabilization of the socio-political situation on the territory of the RSO-A. ... The UBOP at the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the North Ossetia-A-A, together with the operational group of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation in the RSO-A, conduct an ORM (operational-search measures.-A.P.) in relation to the leaders of the Muslims of North Ossetia Valgasov R.I.

Soon Tagaev was in prison - he “found” a grenade.

GAZ-66

The terrorists, as you know, rolled out the school on the GAZ-66 truck, the owner began to be sought by the ideological.

“... During the operational-search measures to establish the owner of the GAZ-66 A/M ... The following information was received. At the end of August 2003, Merzhoev Salalamhan Sultanovich (nickname "Beoboska"), living: Mozdok district, p. Khurikau ... bought from a resident with.

At the wheel of GAZ-66 was Merzhoev Gerikhan Sultanovich, Zhzh. Republic of Ingushetia,

“At 8.00 09/09/2004, the obtained information about the circumstances of the arrival of terrorists in the GAZ-66 car was procedurally fixed. Upon presentation of photography, Merzhoev G.S. I identified Tschoev M.I. (One of the dead terrorists. - A.P.) ... ”(Document No. 4).

School repair

Long months after the terrorist attack continued the persecution of the director No. 1 of Lidia Aleksandrovna Tsalieva, persecution with the participation of the investigators - they quietly warmed the victims against the director. For the fact that she let the left repairmen in the summer, and they laid their weapons. Continuing to direct the emotions of the victims to the side of themselves, the investigators already knew: everything is not at all ...

“... A version of the possible preliminary importation of weapons and explosives into the school building during the repair work and involvement in this person who carried out these works is checked. From the explanation of Shcherbinina Olga Viktorovna, born in 1956, the head teacher of the school’s educational work, it became known that due to the lack of funds, repair work was carried out by forces at the expense of the teaching staff and school staff ... The representative of the local government of the city of Beslan Ambalov managed the work, controlled by Artyushenko V.A. - Deputy. Head of the Administration. The main works were carried out by the labor training teacher Mikhailov, Alexander with workers who were sent from the local government administration ... ”(from the document No. 2).

Route

Here's what the bandit route looks like in the reports, on which they were allowed, sending Arsamikov’s testimony to the basket.

“... at 8.00 09/08/2004. Investigator of the Office of the General Prosecutor's Office of the Russian Federation in the North Caucasus, Sobol I.V. Together with the AMP of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the North Ossetia-A and the Center “T”, the militant movement route is established ... from p. Khurikau of the Mozdok district of the North Ossetia-A terrorists drove through the Koskem-Hoza Forest Range along the abandoned highway Vladikavkaz-Mozdok towards the village of Old Batako-Yurt of the Right-Bank District of the North Ossetia-A. Before reaching 3-5 km to n. n. Old Batako-Yurt, turned to the right, on a country road. Having drove past the television ranger and going down from the Koskem-Hoza ridge, we drove next to the old abandoned gardens, which were on the right along the route. Then we went to a secondary asphalt road connecting with. Old Batako-Yurt and s. Tsalyk. Through with. Tsalyk reached the federal highway Moscow - Baku. They turned left, towards the city of Beslan. After passing the overpass and traffic light, they turned cooperative into the lane and, moving past school No. 3, Beslan, drove into Lenin Street, where they turned left. They turned right at the old mollnie and reached the railway crossing, after which they turned right, without crossing the move. Having drove along the railway track, we drove up to the gates of school No. 1 of Beslan.

August 31, 2004 N. Kulaev He was heading on foot from s. Pisedes in with. Sagopshi. On the way, he met a group of armed people in masks (5 people) in the VAZ-2110 car, which forced him to sit in the indicated car and took him to the surrounding forest. After some time, his brother, Kulaev Khanpash, was brought there.

According to Kulaeva N.A., the group consisted of people of different nationalities, since the “colonel” spoke with those present in both Russian and Chechen. According to the assumption of the detainee, the group had 4-5 Chechens. 2-3 people in the group spoke only in Russian, and one of them was an Arab named Farukh, the other was with a narrow cut of the eyes, looked like a Korean, named Abdul-Khakim. The rest spoke Ingush. Women did not participate in the conversation, the interrogated could not determine their national affiliation.

After the next stop, the team followed to get out of the car, and the detainee saw that they were in the courtyard of the school, where there were many children, the “colonel” gave the command to surround the school. The attackers began to shoot in the air. Seven people from among the attackers ran to the gym. "Colonel" instructed to take positions. After that, all children and their parents began to be driven into the gym. <...> The Colonel ordered the militants to shoot to the end, if necessary, he would collect everyone in the gym and blew up all the charges. The “Colonel” himself distributed positions. He had a cell phone, on which he was associated with the liberation of people, but he refused to free them. According to the detainee, in one of the telephone conversations, the Colonel said that in the event of the withdrawal of troops from Chechnya, he would take all the hostages to the mountainous part of Chechnya and let go there, while the militants were instructed not to give people either food or drinking for the federal authorities to quickly solve the issue of withdrawing troops. Since one militant was killed during the attack, the “colonel” ordered several hostages to the second floor and personally shot them.

"Intelligence"

Judging by the reports, the only sources of information about the gang members in those days were completely forced. The first, of course, Kulaev. As well as prisoners and pre -trial detention centers, primarily from among previously planted “for Wahhabism” and an attack on Ingushetia (June 2004). In addition to prison, other methods of conducting the investigation, in accordance with these documents, are not seen.

“... at 8.00 09/07/2004 ... Intelligence agents are held with those arrested for the commission of the DTA (sabotage-terrorist act.-A.P.) on 06.22.04 in the Republic of Ingushetia, contained in the pre-trial detention center of the Russian Federation for the North Ossetia-Alania and the Uin Mu-Alania DIF, in order to establish their knowledge of persons involved in the accomplishment involved this terrorist attack ... ”(from the document No. 2).

Is the price of information obtained "intracarus" high? Not sure.

Authors - on stage

Who were these people who "revealed" in fresh traces?

“... In order to organize operational-search measures in the framework of the initiated criminal case, coordinating the activities of the criminal police units of the internal affairs bodies to establish the circumstances of the preparation and commission of a terrorist action ... First Deputy Minister of the Interior of Russia, Colonel General of the police, A.A. Chekalin The order was signed dated 05.09.2004 No. 1/5744 “On the creation of the operational group of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia”.

Employees of the UBOP, UUR'KM of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the North Ossetia-Alania, the centers “T” GUBOP and the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation for Southern Federal District, in agreement with the head of the investigative brigade of the General Prosecutor's Office of the Russian Federation, are objectively assigned to the development of directions ... ”(from the document No. 2).

PS The principles of law enforcement officers since September 2004 have changed little. The same people in the "anti -terrorists" are the same methods. Two years after Beslan, the system continues to work only to eliminate “probable extremists”, but not to preserve the lives of fellow citizens. Not on the search for criminals, but on the "development of the number", for reporting. Read? Draw conclusions.
