Not quite the same news story as if someone had shot a bullet and missed, is it? Why is that?

(CNN) -- A hand grenade found in the crowd as U.S. President George W. Bush spoke in Tblisi, Georgia last week was live and could have exploded, U.S. and Georgian officials have said.

"From initial qualified inspection, this hand grenade appears to be a live device that simply failed to function due to a light strike on the blasting cap induced by a slow deployment of the spoon activation device," the statement said.

No way that in a post 9-11 world someone could get close enough to throw a grenade at him anyway. I call bullshit and say it's totally staged to "remind" the American public why we need his policies so badly. Keep the grip of fear tight and the minions shall follow. Ofcourse I am just some liberal nancy boy so my opinion holds no water anyway...

Just so happens there was a malfunction with the grenade which kept Dubya out of harms way. Gosh that was lucky.

thats funny other reports say it was "inactive"

TBILISI, Georgia - Georgia?s security chief said Wednesday that an inactive grenade was found near the site where President Bush made a speech in Tbilisi.

Bezhuashvili said the grenade was found in ?inactive mode.? He described it as an ?engineering grenade? ? one that is used for demolition or to simulate the effect of an artillery shell. Such grenades? blast-effect can be fatal at close range, but unlike offensive grenades, they are not designed to spread shrapnel.

?I am not an expert, but it was not possible to detonate it there,? Bezhuashvili said.

(CNN) -- A hand grenade found in the crowd as U.S. President George W. Bush spoke in Tblisi, Georgia last week was live and could have exploded, U.S. and Georgian officials have said.

In the hours after the incident, Georgia officials insisted the device was an inert, Soviet-era training grenade that posed no threat to Bush or his audience.

But on Wednesday, a spokesman for Georgia's Interior Ministry and a statement from the U.S. Embassy in Tblisi contradicted the original assessment.

U.S. and Georgian officials Wednesday also confirmed the grenade was tossed into the crowd, contradicting last week's statement that it was placed there and not thrown.

"A hand grenade was tossed in the general direction of the main stage and landed within 100 feet of the podium," the U.S. Embassy statement said.

"From initial qualified inspection, this hand grenade appears to be a live device that simply failed to function due to a light strike on the blasting cap induced by a slow deployment of the spoon activation device," the statement said.

U.S. and Georgian experts inspected the device, which was wrapped in a "dark Tartan-colored cloth," and will complete a report on the incident, according to the statement.

"We consider this act to be a threat against the health and welfare of both the president of the United States and the president of Georgia, as well as the multitude of Georgian people that had turned out at the event," the statement added.

Tens of thousands of people crowded into Tblisi's main plaza, Freedom Square, to hear Bush on May 10. Parts of the stage on which he appeared with Georgian President Mikhail Saakashvili were surrounded by bulletproof glass.

Last week, Georgian Interior Ministry spokesman Guram Donadze described the device as a "non-combative" grenade used in military training and said it did not contain explosives.

Gela Bezhuashvili, secretary of Georgia's National Security Council, also said last week that the device was a "so-called engineering grenade" found in "inactive mode."

Wednesday's embassy statement said the FBI was leading the investigation in conjunction with Georgian authorities and other U.S. federal agencies.

Anyone with any information, video or pictures related to the incident is asked to contact Georgian authorities.

A reward of 20,000 laris (about $9,000) is being offered in exchange for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person responsible, the statement said.
