George W. Bush

==== 2005 Tbilisi grenade attack ====
On May 10, 2005, while President Bush was giving a speech in [[Freedom Square, Tbilisi|Freedom Square]], [[Vladimir Arutyunian]], a native [[Georgians|Georgian]] who was born to a family of ethnic [[Armenians]], threw a live Soviet-made RGD-5 hand grenade toward the podium. It landed in the crowd about {{convert|65|ft|m|0}} from the podium after hitting a girl, but it did not detonate because a red tartan handkerchief was wrapped tightly around it, preventing the safety lever from detaching.<ref>[https://www.fbi.gov/page2/jan06/grenadeattack011106.htm US FBI report into the attack and investigation] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070411035739/http://www.fbi.gov/page2/jan06/grenadeattack011106.htm|date=April 11, 2007}}</ref><ref>{{Cite report |url=http://archive.org/details/12009191 |title=FBI records of the attempted assassination of George W.
