| 2007-04-14 |
| Interfax - Vladimir Arutyunyan, sentenced to life imprisonment for an assassination attempt on U.S. President George Bush in Tbilisi in May 2005, has said he wants to convert to Islam, his lawyer Onis Meboniya told journalists on Friday. In May 2005, Arutyunyan threw a hand grenade into the crowd of over 10 thousand people who came to the Freedom Square in Tbilisi to listen to the US president. By a fluke, the grenade did not explode. |
