A British citizen has been arrested on suspicions of involvement in Beslan school massacre in which 300 people, half of them children, died. A member of the group responsible for the Beslan school massacre last month is a British citizen who attended the infamous Finsbury Park mosque in north London, The Observer reported. Citing Russia's security forces, the British journalists claim that two other members of the group, loyal to Chechen warlord Shamil Basayev, are also believed to have been active in the UK until less than three years ago. The report identifies one of them as Kamel Rabat Bouralha, 46 years old, a 'key aide' of Basayev, who has a GBP 5.5 M price on his head.
