Presently, a hundred people killed in the hostage-taking drama in Beslan, are still unidentified, Russian Deputy Prosecutor General for the Southern Federal District Sergei Fridinsky told reporters on Wednesday. Yesterday, 107 bodies were identified. Today, specialists from the Prosecutor's Office, jointly with experts, started molecular-genetic tests, Fridinsky said. "This work will go on until the last victim is identified. We have asked relatives to go through the procedure of donating their blood to make it possible for the experts to identify the still unaccounted-for persons," the Deputy Prosecutor General said. Sergei Fridinsky said that 12 militants from the gang that had seized the school in Beslan had been identified. "They are from different groups, some of them took part in the terrorist act in Ossetia in 2004, and in Ingushetia - on June 21," he said. The Deputy Prosecutor General stated that so far we cannot say that the explosives found after the terrorist act in the Beslan school are identical to those on the remnants of the aircraft which crashed on August 24. "We have found pieces of unexploded devices which are filled with plastic explosives," Fridinsky said and added that there were no final results so far of the expertise concerning the planes. On the scene of the air crash in the Tula and Rostov regions, the experts discovered the traces of cyclonite.
