Report Rebuts Georgian Claims About Invasion

Report Rebuts Georgian Claims About Invasion - World news | Newser: Know More. Search Less.:

"(Newser) – Independent military observers have published new accounts that contradict Georgia's claim that it was acting defensively against Russian aggression. The reports suggest instead that the small Georgian army moved into Tskhinvali unprovoked, unleashing artillery and rocket fire without discrimination at civilians and unarmed monitors. It also discounts the claim, made on television the night of the invasion, that ethnic Georgian villages in breakaway South Ossetia were under attack.
