Burial for Gamsakhurdia agreed

(First Edition)

Georgian and Chechen officials yesterday agreed to allow the body of the ousted Georgian president Zviad Gamsakhurdia to be identified and flown to the self-proclaimed Chechen republic for burial, Reuter reports rom Tbilisi. Gamsakhurdia died at the end of last year - possibly by his own hand - after the failure of an armed comeback. The whereabouts of his body, somewhere in western Georgia, is known only to his family and close aides.
