Thieves ransack new Beslan school

A new school built in the Russian town of Beslan to replace the one destroyed in last year's siege has been robbed.

Thieves ransacked classrooms and made off with TVs, computers and printers worth about $6,200, officials say.

The new equipment had been bought as part of preparations for the new school term, which is due to begin next month.

More than 330 people, most of them children, were killed in the three-day siege by pro-Chechen gunmen who were assaulted by Russian troops.
