 TBILISI, Georgia (AP) - Was it a bid to undermine a visit by President Bush — or evidence of a real assassination plot? A grenade found near a stage where Bush addressed crowds of Georgians on Tuesday has set off a flurry of speculation.
The array of potential culprits — from disgruntled Georgians to local minorities and even Russian saboteurs — reflects the instability of a volatile country struggling through transition.
The address to tens of thousands of people in Tbilisi's Freedom Square was the centerpiece of a Bush visit choreographed to cement relations between the United States and the ex-Soviet republic's new pro-Western leadership.
