Russian Politics after School Attack
Story aired: Thursday, September 09, 2004



The Kremlin is still trying to find its political footing after last week's horrific schoolyard hostage-taking. The identity of the attackers is still unclear, but their cause was the separatist movement in Chechnya, which President Vladimir Putin pledged to resolve when he came to power four years ago.

Now Putin is confronted with questions from his own people and other world leaders.
