Georgian Parliamentary Chairperson Nino Burjanadze told reporters on September 6 that the Georgian special services are investigating possible link between the Georgia’s breakaway South Ossetia and the terrorist act in Russia’s North Ossetian town of Beslan.

Tbilisi-based Mze television reported earlier that number plates of the van, used by the hostage-takers, who seized the school in Beslan, indicated that the car was registered in Georgia’s breakaway South Ossetia. But no official confirmation of this report has come so far.
 
“I cannot say anything for sure now; the Georgian special services are checking up the report at the moment,” Nino Burjanadze said.
