A Georgian rapid-response unit detained four CIS peacekeepers on 21 March near the unofficial border between Abkhazia and Georgia, Rustavi-2 television reported. The armed peacekeepers were held after reportedly entering a private residence in the village of Ganmukhuri in the Zugdidi District. The peacekeepers, who were reportedly found to be intoxicated, initially told the Georgian police that they were \"searching for a lost horse,\" but later admitted that they were lost. Russian Defense Ministry spokesman Nikolai Baranov confirmed that the peacekeepers were detained after wandering from their assigned location in the Gali District, Interfax reported. The four soldiers were later turned over to a detachment of CIS peacekeepers sent to the village to take custody of the detainees. (RFE/RL)
