Bomb goes off near restaurant in Sukhum, no one hurt.
SUKHUM, Abkhazia, August 13 (Itar-Tass) - An explosion roared through the seaside embankment in the Abkhazian capital on Wednesday evening.
Nugzar Samsonia, the acting head of the Abkhazian State Security
Service, told Itar-Tass on Wednesday.
The explosive device had been planted under a tree near the Elbrus
restaurant. Members of a visiting Russian delegation and journalists who
had covered Prime Minister Vladimir Putin's working visit to Abkhazia were
reportedly inside the restaurant at the time of the blast. No one was hurt.
Samsonia confirmed that another bomb had gone off in the resort town
of Gagra earlier on Wednesday. Two employees of the local cultural centre
are believed to have died in the blast. Another three people were wounded.

SUKHUM, Abkhazia, August 13 (Itar-Tass) -- Police in Abkhazia have
launched an investigation into a blast in the resort town of Gagra which
claimed two lives. The explosion that occurred at 16:47 Moscow time on
Wednesday has been classified as a terror strike. A 52-year old woman,
Lyudmila Surina, was killed immediately while Dmitry Metreveli, 25, died
of wounds later.
'The explosive device was planted in a trash container near a building
where a commercial firm had an office,' Ramin Gablaya, Abkhazia's first
deputy interior minister, said.
As a result two people died and an entire family, consisting of a
husband, a wife and a child, got shrapnel wounds. Four more people turned
to hospital for help.
The Gagra administration has promised assistance to the families of
the dead and to those who were wounded in the blast.
The investigative centre comprises Abkhazia's first deputy interior
minister Ramin Gablaya, Beslan Kvitsiniya, the first deputy chief
prosecutor, and Astamur Ketsba, the administration head of the Gagra
region.

.Medvedev, Putin meet in Sochi, take a walk.
SOCHI, August 13 (Itar-Tass) -- Russian President Dmitry Medvedev and
Prime Minister Vladimir Putin took a walk along the Sochi embankment after
a working meeting on Wednesday. The prime minister had arrived in the
centre of Sochi a couple of minutes ahead of the president. Dmitry
Medvedev came to the summer theatre in Sochi in a car, which he drove
himself.
During the walk the two politicians continued discussing their work.
Nevertheless, they found time to greet vacationers on the embankment.
At first, people didn't even notice Medvedev and Putin. One woman
suggested that they were the doubles of the president and the prime
minister. 'No, we are not doubles, we are alive,' Medvedev told her with a
smile.
After the walk Medvedev and Putin dropped in a cafй to watch a
football friendly between the national teams of Russia and Argentine. By
the time the two sat at a table the Russian team was already losing 1:3.
President Medvedev said that the Russian team had a good start in the
beginning of the match and called on the cafй visitor to support their
compatriots. A few minutes later, the Russian team scored its second goal.
After the match Medvedev and Putin discussed the game with the cafй
visitors. The president, the prime minister and other fans agreed that
losing 2-3 to the legendary Argentine team was not at all bad after all.
Then, the two leaders posed for pictures with some of the bar visitors and
went to their cars. A Sochi resident managed to hand over a letter to
President Medvedev asking him for assistance in solving a problem with
local self-government bodies.
Putin and Medvedev said good-bye to the vacationers and drove away in
their cars with president Medvedev in the driving seat.
