Was Russia Behind a U.S. Embassy Attack? Print E-mail
July 27, 2011

By Jeffrey Goldberg

Eli Lake with a blockbuster piece of reporting in The Washington Times:

U.S. intelligence agencies concluded in a classified report late last year that Russia's military intelligence was responsible for a bomb blast that occurred at an exterior wall of the U.S. Embassy in Tbilisi, Georgia, in September.

The highly classified report about the Sept. 22 incident was described to The Washington Times by two U.S. officials who have read it. They said the report supports the findings of the Georgian Interior Ministry, which traced the bombing to a Russian military intelligence officer.

The Times reported last week that Shota Utiashvili, director of information and analysis for theGeorgian Interior Ministry, said the embassy blast and others in his country were the work of a Russian military intelligence officer named Maj. Yevgeny Borisov.

A Quotation

"The belief that security can be obtained by throwing a small state to the wolves is a fatal delusion."
Winston Churchill, The Gathering Storm

"This is the lesson: never give in, never give in, never, never, never, never—in nothing, great or small, large or petty—never give in except to convictions of honour and good sense! Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy!"
Winston Churchill, October 29, 1941
