MOSCOW. Aug 24 (Interfax) - Eight Russian border guards were found dead on the border with Georgia on Saturday, the Federal Border Guard Service said.
The guards had been members of a 10-man detail that took duty on Friday evening and did not contact its base by radio at the scheduled time. The other two members were missing, the Border Guard press service told Interfax.
A search party was working on the tragedy site in the North Caucasus. A deputy director of the Federal Border Guard Service was due to leave for the North Caucasus. [RU EUROPE EEU EMRG DIS VIO CRIM GG NEWS] as <>

Does anybody really give a rats ass if a few Russian's end up dead? Yes...because, you see, our men are in Afghanistan facing the same enemy. We might want to learn what we can so as to avoid US casualties.

Maybe Georgian soldiers killed them for invading Georgia? I'm gonna say it was the Chechens, but anything could be possible. The Georgians are in a tought spot, two enemies, radical Islam and Russia.

Sure do, they have some of the best snipers in the world. One of the best was based outside of the Sarajevo Hills. Never met the Russki, did not care to, as he was a crazy one that was cool, very cool under duress.

Question remains to be asked and determined:
1-How were the bodies killed
2-Were the bodies moved
3-Shells spent
4-Terrain disturbance, etc.... much more....

Does anybody really give a rats ass if a few Russian's end up dead?Yes, as a matter of fact we do. Russia has the potential of becoming one of our best and most reliable allies. There may be a few bumps along the road, but the potential is there.
In addition, we're fighting the same enemy. This is the work of Islamic extremists.
