Saakashvili could face assassination plot, former minister claims
An assassination attempt could soon be made on Georgian President
Mikheil Saakashvili, a former foreign minister has reportedly
claimed.
Salome Zurabishvili, who once served on Saakashvili’s cabinet, was quoted by the Georgia Times newspaper as saying that those in the president’s close circle might resort to orchestrating the plot because they lack confidence in his future as a leader.
"Some in the ruling elite believe that Saakashvili’s political future has been crossed out...For this reason Saakashvili’s immediate circle could launch the process of eliminating the president, including by means of assassinating him."
Zurabishvili thereby called on the Georgian leader to exercise caution. "If I were Saakashvili, I would proceed with caution."*
