Gunfire Erupts Near Motorcade On 5th Anniversary Of Georgia's Rose Revolution

(CBS/AP) Shots were fired near the motorcade carrying the presidents of Georgia and Poland on Sunday - the fifth anniversary of Georgia's Rose Revolution - Georgian officials said. No one was hurt in the shooting.

Georgian President Mikhail Saakashvili, who led the pro-Western 2003 uprising but whose popularity has waned in recent months, blamed Russian troops in Georgia's breakaway province of South Ossetia.

"Frankly, I didn't expect the Russians to open fire," he said at a news conference with Polish President Lech Kaczynski. "The reality is you are dealing with unpredictable people. They weren't happy to see our guest and they weren't happy to see me, either."

Irina Gagloyeva, chief of the information committee of South Ossetia, denied that South Ossetians were responsible for the gunfire, and told CBS News that Georgians were to blame for "distributing the provocative information."
