Shots against the Polish president in Georgia: big doubt!

Bizarre all the same, these shots which targeted, on Sunday, the passage of the convoy of the Polish and Georgian presidents Lech Kaczynski and Mikheil Saakashvili on the edge of South Ossetia on the road to Alkhagori. This reminds me of an incident of the same ilk - this time during the visit of Bernard Kouchner and Alexandre Stubb (Osce) in the middle of August, "emergency evacuated" by "distraught" bodyguards to whom a " suspicious helicopter" Every time an important official walks around in the company of Sakharchvilli, shots are fired from the Ossetian camp. This guy must still be bad luck!  ... The entourage of the French Minister and the journalists who accompanied him then confided to me their serious doubts about the real danger and spoke of a "staging"!

A 16-page secret report on the Polish side confirms the doubt.  Our everyday colleagues Diary today released the findings of a confidential Homeland Security Agency (ABW) report, attributing responsibility for the incident during President Kaczynski's visit to Georgia to Georgian intelligence. According to Krzysztof Bondaryk, head of the Agency, this thesis is corroborated by 1) the behavior of the Georgian security services - they had not reacted to the first shots -, 2) by the relaxed attitude of President Saakashvili during the whole incident. 3) there is no evidence that the shots were fired in the direction of the procession. 4) it is not excluded that the Ossetian border posts could have fired - as recent statements by the Ossetian authorities assert - but rather "warning shots as the procession approaches". According to the authors of the report, President Saakashvili would have been "the only one to benefit from the incident", on the eve of the demonstrations announced by the political opposition. "Dziennik" noticed that the ABW considered this hypothesis as the most plausible, (Nb: this confidential report was written on the 24th, the day after the incident, and sent to the highest personalities of the State. Coming from services Polish, rather inclined to find virtues in the Georgian president, he must be taken very seriously).

A tangible version. Given the tension in the sector and what I was able to perceive from the testimonies collected, it is not excluded that the Ossetians fired, possibly in the air,
or in a few directions - it's common in the industry that kind of "incidents" without really consequence. And regularly reported to me the observers, the forces, on both sides, thus showing their... biceps. (see theincident classification test).

En conclusion, it will perhaps be necessary that one day the Georgian president - or his close guard - understand that by dint of "mounting" such dubious, bogus blows, he risks discrediting
its cause ! Because we will now have a doubt about all the incidents - benign or more serious - which take place in this region.
