Hollywood star Steven Seagal vows to fight terrorism

Hollywood action movie star Steven Seagal has pledged to dedicate his life to fight terrorism.

Seagal visited a ruined school in Beslan inRussia's North Ossetia, the scene of a bloody hostage crisis in 2004.
The movie star and martial artist along with a group of US Congressmen arrived in Beslan June 1, the International Children's Day celebrated in Russia.
The delegation visited the memorial cemetery in the town, where over 330 terror attack victims, more than half of them children, are buried.
"They were shocked. After visiting the cemetery, which has more than 300 similar tombs, most of them with the photos of small children,Steven Seagal said he will spend the rest of his life fighting against terrorism," said a spokesman for the republic's head.
On Sep 1, 2004, in one of the most shocking events in recent world history, a group of rebels seized School No. 1 in Beslan, 30 km northwest of Vladikavkaz, capital of the North Caucasus republic of North Ossetia.
Sep 1 is known in Russia as the 'Day of Knowledge' and is when schoolchildren all over the country return to or begin their studies.
The militants killed 17 adults in the first hours of the siege, and then set up explosive devices around the school. They then demanded that Russian troops pull out of the Chechen republic. The operation was organised by the late Chechen warlord Shamil Basayev.
The siege ended after three days when federal troops stormed the school. Hundreds of people died as militants and troops exchanged fire. The authorities were widely criticized for their handling of the siege and for the events leading up to it. All of the terrorists but one were killed.

Jennie Garth ‘More Confident Than Ever’

Jennie Garth is apparently feeling more confident about her bikini body than she has done in years.
The former Beverly Hills, 90210 actress recently celebrated her 41st birthday with a trip to Mexico. Jennie turned heads while enjoying the balmy climate, showing off her impressively toned physique in a series of pretty bikinis. Those close to the blonde star say she is slowly rebuilding her self-esteem following her marriage breakdown last year.
'She’s said she hasn’t felt this confident in years,' a source told British magazine Closer.
Jennie and Twilight star Peter Facinelli announced they were divorcing after 11 years of marriage in March last year. The actress lost around 30lbs. while going through the painful break-up.
However, the busy mother-of-three is now embracing a healthy eating and exercise regime and is looking and feeling great.
During her birthday vacation in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, Jennie hit the headlines after being photographed in a skimpy hot pink ruffled two-piece swimsuit. As well as enjoying a swim in the sea with her children, Jennie kept active by paddle-boarding, kayaking, hiking and zip-lining.
'Jennie is in the gym every day, plus she drinks loads of veggie smoothies with protein powder,' a source explained.
Jennie recently revealed that positive thinking had been a huge help in rebuilding her confidence.
'There's no room for negative self talk. None. Just ban it from your vocabulary,' she advised.
