Poll: Almost half in U.S. creationist
TBILISI, Georgia, Nov. 29 (UPI) -- The peaceful coup that knocked Georgian President Eduard Shevardnadze out of office appeared to be taking a violent turn Saturday.
An explosive device thrown from a passing car blew the windows out of the Labor Party's headquarters in Tbilisi, but there were no injuries.
A Labor party spokesman told the BBC the opposition party that took over the government was continuing the "methods used by Shevardnadze."
"It seems that the revolution named a rose revolution is continuing but, sadly, with explosives and hand grenades rather than roses," Gela Danelia said.
The Labor Party is opposed to the interim administration led by Nino Burjanadze, which is steering Georgia toward a new presidential election on Jan. 4, the BBC said.
Labor leader Shalva Natelashvili said his party had been targeted because of its popularity among Georgians.
Shevardnadze stepped down last weekend after thousands of protesters stormed the parliament.
