An unidentified caller told the FSB July 12 that ³Georgian authorities² were planning to kill Georgians and frame Russian peacekeepers in the area for their deaths. Separately, Interfax cited an unnamed source July 12 as saying that Georgia is preparing a July 15 attack to reclaim its sovereignty over South Ossetia. Russian joint peacekeeping force commander Maj. Gen. Marat Kulakhmetov said July 12 that his troops have been placed on high alert. Georgia denied the allegations. Georgian President Mikhail Saakashvili earlier accused Russia of trying to annex Georgian territory through the continued deployment of its peacekeepers in two breakaway regions. Saakashvili said on July 11 that the Georgian parliament should soon rule on the presence of the peacekeepers in the conflict zone. At the same time, Saakashvili said that Tbilisi did not plan any military operations in the restive region. Russia and Georgia have been at odds for years over the troops in the separatist regions of Abkhazia and South Ossetia. -- -------------------------------------------------------- Escaping the Matrix website http://escapingthematrix.org/ cyberjournal website http://cyberjournal.org subscribe cyberjournal list mailto:•••@••.••• Posting archives http://cyberjournal.org/show_archives/ Blogs: cyberjournal forum http://cyberjournal-rkm.blogspot.com/ Achieving real democracy http://harmonization.blogspot.com/ for readers of ETM http://matrixreaders.blogspot.com/ Community Empowerment http://empowermentinitiatives.blogspot.com/ Blogger made easy http://quaylargo.com/help/ezblogger.html
