Georgia to hold Russian missiles for investigation: official AFP TBILISI (AFP) - Georgia will not release missiles seized from Russian peacekeepers before completion of an investigation into how they were brought onto Georgian territory, an Interior Ministry official said Thursday. "The seized ammunition will not be released until an investigation is fully completed. It is impossible to say at this stage when that may happen," ministry spokesman Shota Utiashvili told AFP.
(Article continues below) Russia on Wednesday demanded that Georgia release the 20 anti-tank missiles, seized on Tuesday in a Georgian-controlled buffer zone near the border with the breakaway region of Abkhazia. The four Russian peacekeepers transporting the missiles were also detained, but later released. Hundreds of Russian troops are deployed in Abkhazia as part of a ceasefire agreement signed in the 1990s.
