TSKHINVALI. May 10 (Interfax) - Georgian special services are preparing special units for committing acts of sabotage and terrorism on South Ossetian territory, South Ossetian State Security Committee (KGB) head Boris Attoyev said.
"Special units are being trained at special centers on Georgian territory to be used for conducting acts of sabotage and terrorism. These centers are training people knowing the Ossetian language, including Ossetians and those coming from Georgian villages of South Ossetia," Attoyev told Interfax on Saturday.
Georgian special services are responsible for all terrorist attacks that have been committed or prevented in South Ossetia, Attoyev said. "Unfortunately, analysis of terrorist attacks in South Ossetia shows that citizens of South Ossetia have been among those hired by Georgian special services for committing them," he said.
Attoyev was also concerned about Georgia's strategy of involving Abkhazia and South Ossetia in Georgia's "international relations."
"The primary goal of the Georgian government's strategy is to involve people in trade and other contacts to gradually neutralize the Ossetian and Abkhaz people's achievements in their struggle for independence and make them abandon their sovereignty," he said.
The Russian Foreign Ministry had circulated a statement on April 11 charging Tbilisi with conniving with saboteurs and terrorists to undermine stability at Georgia's borders with Abkhazia and South Ossetia.
"The Georgian special services' open connivance with various kinds of terrorists and saboteurs poses a threat to peaceful life in the region. It looks like Tbilisi is purposefully seeking to destabilize the situation at the borders with the sovereign republics of Abkhazia and South Ossetia," Russian Foreign Ministry spokesman Alexander Lukashevich said in a statement posted on the Foreign Ministry website.
