Natelashvili: grenade a plot by Saakashvili
Head of the opposition Labor Party Shalva Natelashvili held a press
conference on Thursday to state that the investigation of the
terrorist act against the presidents of Georgia and the U.S. that has
been underway since May 10 has been "an advertising act of Georgian
authorities."
"After looking through the available information, the members of the
party have come to the conclusion that the attempt on the presidents
had been staged by Georgian Minister of Internal Affairs Vano
Merabishvili who was acting on the instructions of President
Saakashvili," he said.
Natelashvili claimed the chief suspect Vladimir Arutunian
collaborated with the authorities, while the explosives found in his
home have been supplied by Georgian special services.
"Saakashvili wanted his name and the name of the U.S. president to be
focused on by the international media," he added.
"The information we've gathered surrounding May 10 suggests that the
act was planned by the Georgian authorities has already been sent to
the U.S. Congress, the UN Security Council, and U.S. law
enforcement," he said.
