FOUR GEORGIANS FEARED KIDNAPPED IN SOUTH OSSETIA
By empty (6/8/2005 issue of the CACI Analyst)
A meeting between Georgian and South Ossetian officials was scheduled in Tskhinvali on 8 June to discuss the disappearance two days earlier in the South Ossetian conflict zone of four Georgian men. Georgian media alleged on 7 June that the four men were kidnapped in a reprisal for the shooting by Georgian police on 29 May of four Ossetians but South Ossetian Interior Minister Mikhail Mindzaev denied on 7 June the four men were kidnapped. The ethnically mixed peacekeeping forces deployed in the conflict zone imposed additional security measures on 8 June.Visit also
