I have posted this comment once already here, but just to restate one fact which cannot be disputed even by Russians: Russian news site lenta.ru reported on August 8 at 8.22 AM Moscow time that humanitarian convoy from north ossetia was shelled by Georgian forces and that the president of North Ossetia, Teimuraz Mamsurov was missing as a result. However, in the post on the same date, but made at 8:56 they stated that this person was actually alive and said that his convoy was completely destroyed on Zarsk road. Now, I looked at the map I have handy and could not find any references to Zarsk road, but the mere fact that guy left Vladikavkaz, reached Roki Tunnel, crossed it, probably passed Java on the way to Tskhinvali (where he said he was heading), got under aerial attack, went missing, reappeared (again, probably in Java) and gave interview by 9 in the morning attests at the very least that he must have left Vladikavkaz WAY before midnight! In addition, don't you think it is quite strange to have humanitarian convoy moving in the middle of the night?
