    "Some 10-15 soldiers sprayed our car with weapons for at least 4 or 5 minutes. I could not move the vehicle since the engine broke down. We shouted at the soldiers that we were journalists. We also took our t-shirts off and waved them out of windows. Some 4 or 5 minutes later, soldiers approached us."Guray Ervin, CameramanTelegraph: Journalists come under attack in Georgia (August 15, 2008)
