GRENADE, PRESIDENT TURN OUT TO BE PHONY Fake Weapon No Threat to Fake Leader, Security Officials Say A hand grenade hurled in the direction of President George W. Bush in Tbilisi, Georgia on Tuesday caused a momentary scare among security personnel in the former Soviet republic until it was determined that the grenade, and the president himself, were both phony.
The grenade, which was found within 100 feet of the tribune in Tbilisi’s Freedom Square where the president spoke on Tuesday, was at first believed to be real, as was the president himself.
But after authorities were able to examine both the grenade and the president more closely, it was determined that they were both completely fake.
“The grenade posed no real threat at all,” said a top Georgian security official. “Much like Iraq in March of 2003.”
