A device thought to be a hand grenade has been thrown within 30 metres of US president George W Bush during a speech in the Georgian capital of Tbilisi.
The US Secret Service said it could not independently confirm whether a device was thrown at the president and whether it was a real hand grenade or a fake.
It said it was investigating the incident, along with the FBI, the State Department and Georgian authorities.
"After the president departed the country of Georgia, we were notified by host-country authorities that during the president's speech earlier in the day in Tbilisi, a device described as a possible hand grenade was thrown within 30 metres of the stage," said Secret Service spokesman Jim Mackin.
Georgian authorities told the Secret Service that the device hit someone in the crowd and fell to the ground, but did not detonate.
A Georgian security officer picked up the device and removed it from the area, Mackin said.

Maybe they thought he'd try to eat it, who remember the pretzel incident?
Almost as dumb as Bush story as that one last week of him being bundled underground from the cloud coming towards the Whitehouse they thought was a nuke. [URL]http://www.guardian.co.uk/usa/story/0,12271,1472905,00.html[/URL]
I wonder if they pulled the 'pine' before they threw it - get it! haha.
I still regret not brainwashing the former Mrs Light into an assassin prior to her American adventure...
Thanks, now I've got images of secret service goons with bananas in their holsters.
