Moscow children ordered to wear ID tags
MOSCOW, Oct. 12 (UPI) -- In the wake of the terror attack on a Beslan school, Moscow children will soon be ordered to wear state-issued ID tags, the BBC reported Tuesday.
Yuri Popov, head of the Moscow city assembly's security and legislation committee, said the children will also have to carry a small document similar to a passport.
The passport will give the child's name, address, telephone number, blood type, fingerprints and details of any allergies to medicines, he said. It will also include advice on how to act in the event of an emergency, such as a terrorist attack.
He said installing alarm systems in all 1,500 Moscow schools and 3,000 pre-schools will cost about $7 million and erecting security fences around the buildings will cost another $20.5 million, he said.
More than 330 schoolchildren, teachers and parents died when the hostage-taking in the North Ossetian town of Beslan ended in a bloodbath Sept. 3. Dozens of victims remain unidentified.
