Armenian driver helps Georgian police disarm bomb in Israeli embassy car

PanARMENIAN.Net - Police in Georgia disarmed a bomb concealed in a vehicle used by Israeli embassy staff, local media reported Monday, February 13.

The personal driver of Itzahk Gernberg, Israel's ambassador to Georgia, Roman Khachaturyan discovered the hand grenade taped to the bottom of the vehicle during a morning check.

Georgian bomb squads were called to the scene and safely disarmed the device, M&C reported, citing DPA.

As the Ambassador said: “We don't have all the details yet. The local authorities are looking into it, but so far it doesn’t look too dramatic.”

"From what we know now, there was an attempt to place an explosive device on a car belonging to one of our local employees. He noticed it while he was on his way to us, and alerted the authorities. The device was defused," Ynet quoted him as saying.
