GE: Bush Possible Hand Grenade Target
The US says it is investigating reports that a device - described as a possible hand grenade - was thrown towards President Bush as he visited Georgia.
It landed 30m (100 feet) away from where Mr Bush spoke to a huge crowd in Tbilisi, but did not detonate, according to the Georgian authorities.

Re: GE: Bush Possible Hand Grenade Target
US President George Bush, greeted with a huge outpouring of affection in former Soviet republic Georgia, has expressed strong support for the fledging democracy.
"You've got a solid friend in America," Bush said in the capital Tbilisi on Tuesday.
He encouraged Georgian President Mikhail Saakashvili to use peaceful means to settle disputes with two separatist regions - Abkhazia and South Ossetia - which are aligned with Moscow, but offered to help resolve the disputes if assistance was requested.

Re: GE: Bush Possible Hand Grenade Target
A hand grenade that landed within 100 feet of President Bush during his visit last week to a former Soviet republic was a threat to his life and the safety of the tens of thousands in the crowd, the FBI said Wednesday.
The grenade was live but did not explode.
