| 3 weeks 6 hours 51 min ago Rice calls for end to Ossetia conflict
|
WASHINGTON (AP) - Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice is urging
Russia to halt aircraft and missile attacks in Georgia's breakaway
region of South Ossetia and withdraw combat forces from Georgian
territory.
Rice says in a statement that the United States wants Russia to
respect Georgian sovereignty and agree to international mediation
with Tbilisi in a bid to end the crisis in the former Soviet state
that threatens to plunge the volatile region into full-scale war.
In Moscow, officials say Rice spoke with Russian Foreign Minister
Sergei Lavrov about the matter.
US-allied Georgia launched a surprise military offensive to
retake South Ossetia earlier Friday. The assault reportedly killed
hundreds of people and triggered a ferocious counterattack from
Russia, which has sent tanks across the border and reportedly
bombed Georgian air bases.
