Osman Larussi was a British man who was possibly one of the hostage takers in the 2004 Beslan school crisis.
Born in Algeria, Larussi was in his mid-30s and lived in London where he is thought to have attended the Finsbury Park Mosque until 2001, when he left for Chechnya with Yacine Benalia and Kamel Rabat Bouralha. He was reported killed on March 8 2004, but when Bouralha was captured and interrogated, he claimed that fellow British citizens Larussi and Benalia had been among the September hostagetakers.[1]
