Members of a Georgian rapid-reaction unit have detained four Russian
[CIS] peacekeepers near the administrative border with Abkhazia. One
of the detained men is ethnic Armenian, another Kabardian and another
Russian. The identity of the fourth man, who had no papers on him,
is yet to be established.

Georgian officials have said that the men were armed and trying
to enter the yard of a private house in the village of Ganmukhuri
[Zugdidi District, Samegrelo province].

The peacekeepers have said that they were searching for a lost horse.
