War of the Worlds Scare in Georgia

Written by Pat's Papers | Monday, 15 March 2010 10:31 AM

It was the War of the Worlds all over again in a small Georgian border town says the Star Tribune. Panic spread among residents after a mock TV documentary reported that there had been a Russian invasion. As you may remember, the country fought a “brief but bloody war” with Russia in 2008 and experts say the conflict is still fresh in the minds of Georgians. The mockmentary aired on a private TV station over the weekend - no explanation was given as to why.
