FBI says Bush rally grenade could have exploded
An agent for the US FBI said today that a grenade found near the podium in the Georgian capital where US President George Bush gave a speech last week had been thrown and was live but apparently failed to explode due to a malfunction.
The statement by Bryan Paarmann, the FBI attache at the US Embassy, contradicted initial reports by Georgian officials that the grenade was not in condition to explode and that it had been found on the ground rather than thrown.
