LONDON, October 5 (RIA Novosti's Alexander Smotrov) - Whatever might be alleged, there were no British nationals among school-seizing terrorists in Beslan, says Alexander Torshin, parliamentary commission head on the Beslan tragedy and its precedents.

There were Britons among the terrorists, The Observer, The Guardian's Sunday supplement, said last weekend.

"We have no information whatsoever to confirm Guardian allegations. I wonder whence they have come," the Russian MP said to the media in London.

The federal Prosecutor General's experts are to this day identifying dead terrorists. "There are several aliens' bodies. We can say it with certainly even now," said Mr. Torshin.

As he went over to overseas assistance to the investigators and to his commission, the MP gratefully mentioned many countries' spokesmen contacting commission members to condole and offer documents and testimony in their disposal.

Fifteen out of the 32 Beslan terrorists have been identified for today, and the job is going on, Sergei Fridinsky, Russia's Deputy Prosecutor General, said earlier on the day. He cannot specify the figures of alien participation in the Beslan terror act before all are identified, he added. "That was a multiethnic gang. We said so from the start. I pledge we shall tell everything as soon as identification is over."
