Georgia 'breaks Russian spy ring'

Georgia claims to have dismantled a Russian spy ring arresting 13 individuals. Four of those arrested are Russian citizens and another four are Georgian military officers. The suspects are accused of feeding sensitive information to Russia. The event comes just two years after a short lived war between Russia and Georgia. While the Georgian spokesman, Shota Utiashvili, says that the arrests were a giant blow to Russian military intelligence, the Russians claim that the arrests constitute a provocation to undermine Moscow's participation in forthcoming international summits."Let's wait, let's see, how convincing this political farce will be before giving our commentary," Grigory Karasin, Russia's deputy foreign minister said.
