Tbilisi, Georgia - Bush grenade thrower 'was acting alone'
Ireland Online ^ | November 1, 2005

Georgia’s interior minister said a man who admitted throwing a live grenade toward US President George Bush during a rally in the ex-Soviet nation was acting alone and had no links to any foreign special services.

Interior Minister Vano Merabishvili said Vladimir Arutyunian, who was indicted in September by a US grand jury on charges of trying to assassinate the president, will face trial in Georgia soon.

“Arutyunian was a terrorist acting alone,” Merabishvili told the 24 Hours newspaper.

Arutyunian faces terrorism and murder charges in Georgia stemming from the May 10 incident in Tbilisi and the killing of a policeman in a shootout before his arrest in July.

“Arutyunian was a terrorist acting alone,”

Eh, that seems to be a rather lame explaination of the attempted assassination of an American President.

I see. Nothing on TV that afternoon. Desperate Housewives not playing until later. Thought he'd go murder a foreign President of the world's major superpower to kill a few hours, did he?

Bring out the thumbscrews.

Lame? No, really, he was just trying to impress Jody Foster...
