TBILISI, Georgia, Nov. 29 (UPI) -- Leaked Polish documents suggest Georgia may have staged a supposed attack on a convoy carrying the Polish and Georgian presidents.
South Ossetian paramilitary troops fired shots near a motorcade carrying Polish President Lech Kaczynski and Georgian President Mikhail Saakashvili last weekend in the disputed Akhalgori district.
Georgia blamed the incident on Russian forces still in South Ossetia. But the EU Observer said the Polish report indicates otherwise.
"At the current time and on the basis of the information obtained, the most likely scenario is that the situation may have been created by the Georgian side," a leaked situation report by the Polish Internal Security Agency, the ABW, published in the Dziennik daily Thursday said.
The report noted Saakashvili stopped the convoy and asked Kaczynski to step outside the car near a checkpoint. The Georgian president and his men showed no signs of distress when shots were heard, the report said.
