Gagloeva: this year, seven cars exploded in South Ossetia

From the beginning of 2008, in South Ossetia, seven terror acts were committed, for which automobiles brought in from territory of Georgia were used. Irina Gagloeva, head of the Committee for Information and Press of South Ossetia, told about it.

"The Georgian party continues its subversive and terrorist activity in South Ossetia. One of the methods of its terrorist activity is what happened on October 3 - explosion of the car that had arrived from the Georgian territory. The Georgian party had obviously known in advance that this car would be stopped," the IA "Interfax" quotes Ms Gagloeva as saying.

She has emphasized that this year it's not the first incident of this sort. "This year, this is (i.e., the terror act on October 3 at the peacekeepers' headquarters) already the seventh incident, when residents of South Ossetia perish or get wounded by explosions of motor vehicles brought in from the Georgian territory. As a rule, our citizens had agreed with their relatives and acquaintances from the Georgian party about purchase of transport means, and then these means got exploded in South Ossetia," quotes the RIA "Novosti".

Besides, Radio Liberty quotes independent expert Tornike Sharashenidze, who has emphasized: "Now in Tskhinvali, the situation unstable - everything can happen. Russian troops are withdrawn from the so-called 'buffer zones'; and the provocation is obviously against the interests of the Georgian party. It was either some internal showdown or an incident because of instability and lack of order."
