Georgian Prime Minister Zurab Zhvania ruled out that Georgian and South Ossetian criminal groups might be behind the terrorist act in Gori, which left three policemen dead and 27 others injured.
?The organizers of this terrorist act aimed to spread panic among the population and destabilize the situation. However, we should respond with consolidation and effective activities,? Zhvania said at a governmental session on February 2.
The Prime Minister stressed that the authorities in breakaway South Ossetia expressed their concerns over the terrorist act.
