Probe into Zhvania's death underway

TBILISI. Feb 3 (Interfax) - High levels of carbon monoxide have been registered in the apartment where Georgian Prime Minister Zurab Zhvania and Kvema Kartli region deputy governor Raul Usupov were found dead, the head of Tbilgaz city gas supplier David Morchiladze told journalists on Monday.

"An Iranian-made gas heater was installed in Usupov's apartment two days ago," Morchiladze said.

Maybe two days prior to the unfortunate accident, they didn't install the Iranian made gas heater properly.

And maybe it work as intended by the manufacturer? You give me nuclear fuel and I make you nice gas heater for people you don't like?

I would hate to think the Iranians can't figure out a gas heater if they are busy trying to split atoms.......

How hard could it be? Perhaps the Iranians just made the gas heater and someone else installed it.

That's it, someone else installed it two days prior to the unfortunate accident.
