The first bombing was on Friday. I was at home, working in my yard, when three shells were dropped. The first fell on a mountain in Gori, where St. George's Holly church stands. The second hit the central market and the third stroke the area near the court. We had two pregnant women in the family, so we immediately ran away. Because of the stress and nervous tension one of them is prematurely having labor. One of my close friends, Irakli Abramishvili, is wounded. I have no information on his current condition. Don't know where he is now.
Ossetians kidnapped one girl. She's been forced into their car and taken away, no one knows where. I lived near the central market and witnessed this incident: a family – father and children were sitting in the car. Ossetian soldiers stopped them. The father asked to leg go. After that the whole family was shot dead in the car. I have no idea what is happening now in my house.
I am responsible for my quotes and undersign the information I have given away.
