Statement by U.S. Ambassador John Beyrle on the Anniversary of Beslan Tragedy

September 1, 2009

On this anniversary of the terrible terrorist act at Beslan five years ago, I offer my condolences to the families of the innocent victims and to the Russian government and people. The United States will continue to work together with Russia to defeat our common enemy of terrorism in all of its forms, so that future generations will not have to endure such tragedies.
