You think it’s bad Moussaoui got life? That’s nothing. The only surviving terrorist behind the Beslan massacre got life too — for 331 murders, including many children:

The only known militant to survive the Beslan school siege was convicted in the deaths of 331 people — many of them children — and sentenced to life in prison Friday, touching off an emotional scene in which mothers of some victims tried to attack the defendant in court.

Prosecutors had demanded the death penalty for Nur-Pashi Kulayev, but Russia imposed a moratorium on capital punishment when it joined the Council of Europe a decade ago.

. . . .

“Kulayev deserves the death penalty, but is sentenced to life in prison because a moratorium is in place,” Judge Tamerlan Aguzarov said.
