Russia backs military coup in Georgia
.
A Russian-backed military coup was was just attempted and timed to disrupt NATO military exercises in Georgia, which begins tomorrow. The Georgian defense minister says the soldiers are being confined in their barracks, and at least one person has been arrested.
The plotters "were receiving money from Russia" and screened video footage of the accused plot leader, a senior officer, allegedly discussing plans for a revolt. In that video, the commander is seen saying "the Russians will come to help us" and would "liquidate" members of the cabinet before Georgian exiles would return to overthrow the government.
