Kidnapped! Masked Men Whisk Saakashvili Away: Ukrainian Border Patrol Suspected

Let's turn to Kiev, where Mikhail Saakashvili has been detained today, notably, not in the street or on a rooftop, but in a Georgian restaurant. We'll get the details from our correspondent, Vladimir Sinelnikov. - Vladimir, hello! Please tell us what happened, and is it already known who detained Saakashvili and where is he now? - Greetings! The restraint took place in a downtown Kiev restaurant Suluguni that's located near the headquarters office of the party Movement of New Forces, headed by Saakashvili. Unknown persons in black stormed into the restaurant, grabbed Saakashvili, dragged him into one of the two Volkswagen vans participating in the detainment, and headed in an unknown direction. Witnesses insist that the attackers had sleeve patches of the Ukrainian Border Patrol. And most likely, it was Border Patrol that carried out the detainment. However, Patrol Services aren't commenting on the incident. Let me remind you that the unsuccessful attempt to detain Saakashvili on Friday was also carried out by the Special Forces of the Ukrainian Border Patrol. The fact that Special Forces are involved indicates that most likely Mikhail Saakashvili will be deported abroad or turned over to Georgia altogether. Georgia has been long requesting Saakashvili's extradition, who has a whole list of accusations against him back home. - Thank you, Vladimir. That was Vladimir Sinelnikov with a report or Saakashvili's detainment in Kiev.
