| The American Embassy in Georgia took extensive preventive measures in Georgia for a possible terrorist strike on American interests in the region, said US Ambassador to Georgia Jon Teft on Wednesday. The Georgian news agency quoted Teft as saying that the procedures included setting security barriers around the embassy's building and replacing its communications system with a new one. Such measures created a form of noise for the embassy's workers during the past couple of days, he said. The employees, however, will keep on their jobs as usual, said the ambassador. Local authorities had blocked the way leading to the embassy located on the capital's heart. Washington is currently constructing a new headquarters for its embassy in Georgia. |
