DTN News: Military TODAY May 6, 2009
(NSI News Source Info) May 6, 2009: Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili shakes hands with soldiers after they ended their mutiny at the Mukhrovani military base some 10 kms outside Tbilisi May 5, 2009. A military mutiny in the former Soviet Republic of Georgia appears to be "a somewhat isolated incident," a Pentagon spokesman said, playing down an incident that drew Georgian accusations of Russian involvement.
Georgia said the mutiny by a tank battalion on the eve of NATO exercises was backed by Russia, a charge Moscow's envoy to NATO called "insane."
