    Ethnically-Armenian Bush attacker pledges to escape

    Assa-Irada, Azerbaijan
    Aug 19 2005

    Baku, August 18, AssA-Irada -- Ethnically-Armenian individual accused
    of an assassination attempt on US President George Bush and murder
    of a police officer has said he will try to escape from the hospital
    where he is kept, Georgian media quoted the country's interior ministry
    as saying.

    While in hospital, Vladimir Arutyunian has repeatedly attempted to
    hurt himself. A special video camera has been installed at Arutunian's
    cell to oversee his actions.

    Arutyunian was detained in Tbilisi, Georgia on July 21. The 27-year
    old individual faces several charges, including an attempt to commit
    a terror act, murder, illegal possession and use of weapons.

    Arutyunian admitted that on May 10, immediately after his arrest,
    he threw a hand grenade to the rostrum where President Bush and his
    Georgian counterpart Mikhail Saakashvili stood. He added that he would
    'continue attempts' on Bush's life 'if he had a chance'.*
