VVVVeeerrrryyyy interesting!
It will be interesting to see what group/organization he is associated with...
The supposed perp's photo published (some 30-ish guy in dark eyeglasses) was not too informative, especially for a large crowd. Hopefully they had more info.
Look at this.

The Civil Georgia website is jammed
One security member died late on July 20 when the police tried to arrest a person who is suspected in tossing a hand-grenade into a crowd while U.S. President George W. Bush was addressing thousands of Georgians in Tbilisi on May 10, Guram Donadze, spokesman for the Georgian Interior Ministry, said.
“When the law enforcers approached an apartment, the suspect has suddenly opened fire and killed one security official. I am currently on the site in Vashlijvari [suburb of Tbilisi], the operation [to capture suspect] is underway and I can not say anything more,” Guram Donadze told Rustavi 2 late on July 20.
The Georgian Interior Ministry unveiled photos of a young man on July 18 who is suspected in tossing a hand-grenade into a crowd.

bump
The White House really played down the threat to the President at the time. However, I read yesterday that it was a live grenade that simply (and luckily) failed to detonate.
now that they've captured IT, now torture IT, then when you get all the info you can, BEHEAD IT(Oh, and DONT forget IT'S family)! Same scenario for all murdering muslims...
Perhaps luck. Perhaps not.
Doesn't look like 'yer typical middle-east vermin. I see a chunk of Russian/Slovak DNA in the pic.
I'm a God fearing woman, so dare I say Divine providence?
Grenade failed to explode. Fact.
Potential explanations (speculation):
#1, Luck
#2, Divine Providence
#3, grenade obtained through police sting (i.e. the police didn't sell a live grenade to said terrorists)
#4, very advanced defensive technology
#5, disarmed by quick-thinking agent
#6, used by an attacker too dumb to know how to arm the device
*Not in order of probability...
What race do Islamic Chechnyans resemble?
If it ain't your turn to meet your maker, you ain't going nowhere. Too many 'what if's' in this situtation. I'll believe God had his hand in it. He isn't finished with Bush yet.
He seems to have killed a policeman and escaped..
