Pengepungan sekolah Belsan

**Pengepungan sekolah Beslan** (juga disebut sebagai **krisis sandera sekolah Beslan** atau **pembantaian Beslan**) yang dimulai pada 1 September 2004, berlangsung selama tiga hari, melibatkan penangkapan lebih dari 1,100 orang sebagai sandera (termasuk 777 anak-anak), dan berakhir dengan tewasnya sekitar 385 orang. Krisis tersebut dimulai ketika sekelompok teroris Islamis bersenjata, sebagian besar Ingush dan Chechen, menduduki Sekolah Nomor Satu di kota Beslan, Ossetia Utara (sebuah republik otonomi di kawasan Kaukasus Utara, Federasi Rusia) pada 1 September 2004. Para penyanderanya adalah Batalion Riyadus-Salikhin, yang dikirim oleh panglima perang Chechen Shamil Basayev, yang menginginkan pengakuan kemerdekaan Chechnya, dan penarikan diri PBB dan Rusia dari Chechnya.
