VLADIKAVKAZ, Russia, Dec. 31 (UPI) -- Beslan residents are sending aid to the tsunami victims in Southern Asia, the Interfax-South news agency reported Friday.
"Our council has decided to transfer 1 million rubles ($35,700) to those who suffered from the disaster in South East Asia. As soon as we know the bank account number, we will transfer this money," Mairbek Tuayev, the head of the Beslan public council, told Interfax-South.
"Beslan residents will never forget how the whole world responded to our tragedy. Therefore we will always respond to tragedies of people suffering from both disasters and terrorist attacks worldwide," Tuayev said.
Chechen secessionist terrorists massacred 344 people including 190 children in a school in Beslan in the northern Caucasus in early September.
