Troops may train Georgian
military to fight terrorism
TBILISI, Georgia (AP) —
With U.S. military advisers
already in Georgia — and with
the prospect of hundreds more
American troops being sent to
Russia’s doorstep — Georgian
and U.S. officials denied
Wednesday that American sol
diers would go into combat
against terrorism in the small
Caucasus nation.
Russia, however, was clearly
alarmed.
President Bush said the U.S.
troops could be sent to Georgia
to help train its military to fight
guerrillas linked to Osama bin
Laden’s al-Qaida terrorist net
work. U.S. and Russian offi
cials say the militants —
including several dozen who
had been in Afghanistan — are
in the area of the Pankisi Gorge,
near Georgia’s border with
Russia’s breakaway republic of
Chechnya.
The head of the Georgian
Defense Ministry.’s information
department, Paapa
Gaprindashvili, said several
U.S. military advisers arrived in
Georgia Tuesday to discuss
military training.
Putting troops in Georgia
would bring the U.S. military to
Russia’s doorstep, unlike the
deployment of U.S. and other
Western troops at remote bases
in Central Asia, which Russia
considers part of its historic
sphere of influence. Russia
raised relatively little objection
to those deployments.
Russian Foreign Minister Igor
Ivanov said the U.S. military
presence in Georgia could “fur
ther aggravate the already com
plicated situation" in the region.
Alexei Arbatov, the deputy
head of the Russian parlia
ment’s defense committee, said
that if the United States wants
Russian cooperation in the war
against terrorism, it should con
sult with Moscow about its mil
itary deployments in the region.
U.S. and Georgian officials
insisted U.S. forces would not
take direct part in anti-terrorist
operations.
A senior U.S. diplomat,
speaking on condition of
anonymity, said there were no
plans for U.S. forces to engage
in military action in Georgia.
And Georgia’s Deputy Security
Minister Iraklii Alasaniya told
Rustavi 2 television: “Georgia
has not discussed this question
with the United States or with
other friendly countries.”
Those assurances did little to
mollify Russia, which often
accuses the United States of act
ing arrogantly and unilaterally.
Russia and Georgia have
long been at odds ovei
Georgia’s desire to become
closer to the West and an even
tual NATO member. The
Kremlin has accused Georgia of
allowing rebels fighting in
Chechnya to shelter just across
the border in Georgia’s Pankisi
Gorge region; Georgia in turn
has accused Russia of repeated
ly violating its airspace to chase
down rebels.
Georgia recently refused
Russian suggestions of help in
fighting against insurgents in
the region. The Georgian gov
ernment’s willingness to let the
United States offer training and
advice while giving the cold
shoulder to Russia is seen as an
insult in Moscow.
The U.S. diplomat suggested
that Russia should welcome
U.S. involvement because it
would improve Russian securi
ty. “We’re trying to enable
Georgia to make the border
(with Chechnya) less porous,”
the diplomat said.
He added that Russian
President Vladimir “Putin and
the Russian leadership under
stand what we’re doing.”
Putin made no comment on
Expanding the war on terrorism
U.S. military advisers have arrived in the former Soviet republic
of Georgia. Hundreds of U.S. troops might be on the way to help
train local forces to fight militants with links to al-Qaida.

the controversy Wednesday.
Putin surprised many in the
West by his firm cooperation
with the U.S.-led anti-terror-
ism campaign in Afghanistan
and by his non-objection to
Western forces using Central
Asian bases.
The United States intends to
bolster Georgia’s security, yet a
U.S. deployment could equally
threaten destabilization.
Georgia has been shaken by
civil wars since the collapse of
the Soviet Union a decade ago.
Two regions — Abkhazia and
South Ossetia — have been de
facto independent following
separatist wars.
Abkhazia’s unrecognized
prime minister, Anri
Dzhergeniya, was quoted by the
news agency ITAR-Tass on
Wednesday as saying growing
U.S. involvement in Georgia
would spur Abkhazia to seek
closer relations with Russia.
A U.S. deployment would be
the second large-scale training
operation undertaken by the
Pentagon in the aftermath of the
Sept. 1 1 terrorist attacks, follow
ing the deployment of special
forces trainers to the Philippines.
Russian officials portray
their war in Chechnya as a fight
against international terrorism
and allege that rebels were
using the Pankisi Gorge as a
staging ground. Some have
even suggested that Osama bin
Laden could be in the Pankisi
Gorge — an allegation
Georgian officials have denied.
Georgia has been a key U.S.
ally in the region since the 1991
breakup of the Soviet Union,
and Georgian President Eduard
Shevardnadze has appeared
eagen to secure U.S. help,
which would check Russian
power in the region.

Hindu nationalists on Wednesday, setting
fire to four cars and killing 57 people.
Fourteen of the dead were children and
43 other people were injured, many criti
cally, when a mob attacked the train as it
pulled out of Godhra shortly after 6:30
a.m., Gujarat state officials said.
Fearing the attack would ignite sectarian
riots, Indian officials immediately stepped
up security across this vast, religiously
divided nation. The prime minister urged
Hindus not to retaliate.
The nationalists belonged to the Vishwa
Hindu Parishad, or World Hindu Council, a
group seeking to build a temple at the dis
puted holy site of Ayodhya. Ten years ago,
fighting between Muslims and Hindus over
Ayodhya killed 2,000 people.
Most of the 2,500 Hindu activists on
board the Sabarmati Express were return
ing from Ayodhya and were bound for
Ahmadabad, 95 miles to the south.
Smoke was still pouring from the train
Wednesday afternoon as relief workers gin
gerly removed the charred bodies, which
were piled on top of one another, their
limbs entangled.
State officials and witnesses said the
Muslims appeared incensed by Hindu
chanting on the railroad platform in Godhra.
The cars they destroyed were
detached, and the train continued on to
Vadodara, 60 miles to the south. There, a
Hindu crowd that had gathered at the sta
tion fatally stabbed a man as he got off
the train, hospital officials said. Several
other people were beaten with sticks,
they said.

NEWS IN BRIEF
Bomb explodes near
Israeli roadblock
JERUSALEM (AP) - A bomb went
off near an Israeli military roadblock
in the West Bank on Wednesday,
police said. Military sources said a
suicide bomber set off explosives
inside a car, killing herself and
wounding three policemen.
Two of the policemen suffered
moderate injuries and one was
lightly injured, the sources said,
speaking on condition of anonymity.
The bombing took place on a
road between Jerusalem and Tel
Aviv that passes through the West
Bank. Israel radio said the road
block marks the entrance to the
West Bank, near the Israeli town
of Maccabim.
In late January, Wafa Idris, a 27-
year-old paramedic, set off a bomb
in Jerusalem, killing herself and an
81-year-old Israeli man. A branch
of Yasser Arafat’s Fatah movement
claimed responsibility.
Idris was the first woman bomber
since the outbreak of Israeli-
Palestinian fighting 17 months ago.
More than 30 Palestinian men have
blown themselves up in suicide
attacks, killing dozens of Israelis.
Earlier Wednesday, Israeli troops
killed four armed Arabs in gun bat
tles and a Palestinian employee
shot dead an Israeli factory manag
er in an attack that was apparently
politically motivated.
