Kidnapped Spaniards Kept In Pankisi Gorge: Georgia's Interior Minister

Two Spanish nationals kidnapped in Tbilisi for ransom a year ago stay stranded in the Pankisi gorge to this day, Kakha Targamadze, Georgia's Interior Minister, said to a news conference without providing any details. He refused to comment investigation on the kidnap of Levan Kaladze, brother of famous football player Kakha Kaladze. The minister came down on the international press for an "hysterical" coverage of the dramas, which was allegedly harassing detection with "provocative headlong statements".
