Bush's 'would-be assassin' on hunger strike

[Lori Price CLG]

Bush's 'would-be assassin' on hunger strike 28 Dec 2005 Vladimir Arutyunian, who faces life in prison for allegedly trying to assassinate visiting US Dictator George W Bush and Saakashvili at a huge rally in May and for killing a policeman in a shootout before his arrest, appeared with his mouth sewn shut in televised footage from his trial in a Tbilisi court. Arutyunian, whose trial began earlier this month, has acknowledged that he threw a grenade in the direction of the stage where Bush and Saakashvili were standing behind a bulletproof barrier and said that he would try again to kill Bush if he had the chance. (A thirty-nine cent blasting cap had caused the grenade to malfunction. People have compared that occurrence to the ball rolling through Bill Buckner's legs during Game 6 of the 1986 World Series, from the perspective of a Red Sox fan.)
