Afghanistan land mine kills four Georgian soldiers
Written by Admin Sunday, 03 October 2010 06:14
Four Georgian soldiers including a colonel have been killed in a landmine blast in Afghanistan, the defence ministry says. It is thought to be the biggest loss of life for the small ex-Soviet republic since it deployed to Afghanistan as part of the Nato-led mission.
Details of when the soldiers were killed were not given.
Nato Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen, who is visiting the Georgian capital Tbilisi, paid tribute to them.
Although Georgia is not a member of Nato it currently has 925 soldiers serving with the Nato-led International Security Assistance Force in Afghanistan, according to Isaf's website.
....
Early reports said the four soldiers had died in Helmand province, where the Georgian contingent is chiefly deployed.
Extending condolences to the soldiers' families, the Georgian defence ministry identified them as a colonel, a sergeant and two corporals.
....
"Nato greatly values its partnership with Georgia, in particular its contribution to Nato's operations in Afghanistan," Mr Rasmussen said at an opening ceremony for a new Nato liaison office in the Georgian capital, Tbilisi.
"Nato's commitment to Georgia's eventual membership as stated at the Bucharest summit stands firm." http://www.civil.ge/eng/article.php?id=22716

Though we do not really know who took the videos and where it originates, we have the information that it was taken after the Indonesian earthquake in Padang, Riau. If you look patiently at the video, you will see a pair of eyes that is formed in the clouds overlooking a village in Indonesia. It will really shock and scare you!
However, apparently this video was taken a few years ago in Russia. Hence the source is unknown and the location too but it is a very real video, not a graphic picture.
