MIA: Georgian Policeman Killed in Karaleti
Civil Georgia, Tbilisi / 10 Sep.'08 / 12:43

A Georgian policeman was shot dead in Karaleti, a village in which Russian troops maintain a presence, the Georgian Ministry of Internal Affairs (MIA), said in a statement on September 10.

“At 10:15am [local time] this morning, shots were fired at a Georgian police post on the edge of the village of Karaleti in the Gori district. The shots came from a nearby Russian post. As a result, a Georgian policeman, Kakha Tsotniashvili, was badly wounded in the head and throat. He died shortly afterwards in hospital,” the Interior Ministry statement said.

“The Georgian side did not return fire,” it added.

The village of Karaleti is seven kilometers from the town of Gori and is the first village in the so-called “security zone” established by Russian troops in the occupied territories outside South Ossetia.
