"10-hours ago. SS didn't see it."

That sounds really suspicious. The SS didn't notice a guy pick up a grenade with a pin removed? Not to mention that I am sure there was a SS person standing next to every Georgian guard. What did this guy do when he picked up this grenade? Calmly walk away with an armed grenade? I think this story is not complete.

If the SS didn't see it I am very doubtful of this but I shall wait and see.

Didn't have to because the Georgian perimeter caught it?

The Georgian security forces could have made this up for prestige reasons, or political reasons etc. Georgia is that kind of country. People would have panicked if they saw a grenade tossed or security jumping on the grenade.

After Bush left Georgia on Tuesday, the Secret Service was informed by Georgian authorities of a report that a device, possibly a hand grenade, had been thrown within 100 feet of the stage during Bush's speech, hit someone in the crowd and fell to the ground, Secret Service spokesman Jonathan Cherry said.

According to the report, a Georgian security officer picked up the device and removed it from the area. The Secret Service had not seen the device as of Tuesday evening, Cherry said. It has agents in Tbilisi working with the FBI, State Department and Georgian authorities to investigate the report.

Georgian Interior Ministry spokesman Guram Donadze at first said no grenade was thrown close to Bush, calling it a lie, but later said the secretary of Georgia's National Security Council, Gela Bezhuashvili, would make an announcement about the reports Wednesday.

Cherry said he couldn't characterize the source of the report that a device had been thrown.
