Georgia halts army mutiny; all is calm
Tuesday, May 05, 2009 | No comments posted.
TBILISI, Georgia (AP) - Georgia said it had ended a brief mutiny today at a military base near the capital and thwarted a plan to disrupt NATO exercises.
The Interior Ministry first announced that the mutiny was part of a Russia-supported plot to overthrow the government, and that the suspected organizers had been arrested the night before.
But the ministry later backed off and said the plotters were intent mainly on disrupting NATO military exercises set to begin Wednesday in Georgia.
