The daily “Dziennik” cites an Internal Security Agency (ABW) report saying that the shooting incident in Georgia involving Polish President Lech Kaczynski and Georgian President Saakashvili was most likely staged by the Georgians.

According to the daily, ABW head Krzysztof Bondaryk sent the report to the top sixteen people in Poland. The report states the shots fired near the presidential motorcade were most likely fired by Georgians as a provocation and propaganda tool.

President Lech Kaczynski, a staunch supporter of Georgia, was in the country on Sunday to mark the fifth anniversary of Georgia’s “Rose Revolution.” He was traveling with Saakashvili near the border with Georgia’s rebellious South Ossetian province when shots were fired near the motorcade. Georgia unequivocally blamed Russia and President Kaczynski also suggested that it was Russian troops who fired warning shots at the motorcade.

On Sunday, news reports cited a KGB commander in South Ossetia as saying South Ossetian forces were responsible for the shooting, but that report has not been confirmed.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has called the entire incident and the manner in which it has been reported a “provocation” and denied any involvement of Russian troops.

The ABW intelligence report states that when the first round of machine gun fire went off, the Georgian security forces with the two presidents made no response and showed no panic. Additionally, President Saakashvili was reportedly smiling and relaxed throughout the incident.

The ABW report stresses that a bus carrying journalists was allowed to the front of the motorcade before the incident so reporters could capture the events.

Furthermore, not one vehicle was hit by a bullet.

The ABW report undermines the official Georgian story of what happened, but its release to a news reporter also undermines President Lech Kaczynski. It would not be surprising if an ABW employee lost his or her job for leaking classified information.

It should be noted here that the Polish Civic Platform (PO)-led Government reportedly has strong influence at the ABW whereas the President and the opposition Law & Justice (PiS) party reportedly has more influence at the Central Anti-corruption Bureau (CBA).
