Pro-Russian Abkhazia says Georgian plane crashed (Reuters)

TBILISI (Reuters) - A pro-Russian breakaway region in Georgia said on Saturday
it believed a Georgian plane crashed over its territory this week and dismissed
Georgia's accusation that a Russian aircraft had violated its airspace.
Georgia has said it fired at a Russian airplane on Wednesday and might have
downed it, intensifying a row between Georgia and its imperial master, Russia.
On Saturday Georgia said it had only fired a warning shot.


This is part of an on going struggle between Russia and the country of Georgia located in the Caucus mountains. Georgia has angered Russia by making moves to align closer with the west and the US and away from its historical ally - occupier, Russia.
