Kidnappers Fail to Abduct Regional Official
Reports say Elguja Kvetenadze, head of the Zestaponi region, in western Georgia, was kidnapped this morning; however the kidnappers abandoned the car and the hostage and escaped after the police started to chase the criminals.
The law enforcers arrested one of the alleged kidnappers, while others remain at large.
“It seems that the kidnappers wanted ransom. I thing this was the only reason of abduction,” Jemal Gakhokidze, the Deputy Secretary of the National Security Council, told reporters today.
