Convicted for hurling grenade at Bush

August 16-31, 2011

On May 10, 2005, while President George W. Bush was delivering a speech in Tbilsi, Georgia, a live Soviet-made RGD-5 hand grenade was thrown towards the podium where Bush was standing and where Georgian President Mikhail Saaksashvili and others were seated.

The grenade was live and had its pin pulled, but did not explode because a red tartan handkerchief wrapped tightly around the grenade kept the firing pin from deploying quickly enough. Vladimir Arutyunian who threw the grenade was arrested in July after he had killed an Interior Ministry agent while resisting arrest. He was convicted in January 2006 and given a life sentence.
