Motorcade shooting was a Georgian stunt - Poland

Georgians behind shooting near Kaczynski motorcade,
Poland says

WARSAW - The Sunday incident involving shooting near
the car carrying Polish President Lech Kaczynski was
staged by Georgians, Poland's Internal Security Agency
said in a report on Wednesday.

"The shots fired near the car of the Polish and
Georgian presidents were a Georgian provocation," the
well-informed newspaper Dziennik said quoting from the
report.

On Wednesday, the Internal Security Agency chief has
forwarded this document to 16 prominent Polish
politicians, according to the newspaper.

The striking fact is that after the first burst of
automatic fire near the motorcade of the two
presidents, the Georgian security did not react, while
Georgian President Mikhail Saakashvili was smiling,
the document noted.

The Polish security service analysts also said the
fact that Georgian authorities let the bus with
reporters run ahead of the motorcade was suspicious,
apparently meant to enable reporters to be the first
at the scene of the incident.

Motorcade shooting was a Georgian stunt - Poland

Poland has dismissed last week’s shooting incident
involving the motorcade of the Georgian and Polish
presidents as a stunt. Special services in Warsaw say
the alleged attack near the South Ossetian border was
a provocation staged by Georgians.

A report by Poland’s Internal Security Agency (Agencja
Bezpieczenstwa Wewnetrznego – ABW), published by the
Dziennik newspaper, claims Georgia staged the incident
for propaganda purposes.

The incident took place on Sunday evening when
Georgian President Mikhail Saakasvili was showing his
Polish counterpart Lech Kaczynski the area near the
border with South Ossetia. After the convoy stopped at
a checkpoint, there was gunfire, which the Georgians
claimed was an attack by Russian troops.

Russia strongly denied the allegations, saying Tbilisi
was behind it. President Kaczynski confirmed that
shooting had taken place but stopped short of blaming
anyone.

Russia’s position has now been supported by Poland’s
ABW, who said “the shots fired near the cars of
Georgian and Polish president were a Georgian
provocation”.

The document points out that Mikhail Saakashvili kept
on smiling after the first shots and his bodyguards
didn’t react.

The report also highlights another suspicious fact,
namely, that the bus carrying journalists was
instructed to travel in front of the motorcade, while
the car with Kaczynski’s own bodyguards was pushed
back by Georgian soldiers. The result was that they
were not in a position to witness the alleged
shooting.

The official report was sent to leading national
politicians.
