Attempted murder on Abkhazia's vice president

An  attempted  murder on Abkhazia's Vice President Alexander Ankvab took place tonight.

At about 2 a.m. Yerevan time somebody fired on his house, supposedly from a grenade launcher.

According to Moscow Times, Mr. Ankvab was injured. First aid was rendered to him, but he refused from being taken to hospital.

An investigation is underway.

This is already the third attempted murder on the Abkhaz Vice President. None of them has been detected yet.

Abkhazia used to be part of Georgia but separated from it in 2008 after a war between Georgia, on one side, and South Ossetia and Abkhazia, on the other.

Four countries have already recognized Abkhazia's (South Ossetia's) independence, including Russia, who supported Abkhazia in this war.
