Carbon Monoxide From Heater Kills Georgia Premier
MOSCOW, Feb. 3 - Prime Minister Zurab Zhvania of Georgia, a youthful reformer and ally of President Mikhail Saakashvili, died early Thursday in what officials described as a bizarre but accidental poisoning.
Mr. Zhvania, 41, was asphyxiated by carbon monoxide apparently released by a space heater in an apartment in Georgia's capital, Tbilisi, that belonged to a political acquaintance, Raul Usupov, the officials said. Mr. Usupov, 25, a deputy governor from the Kvemo Kartli region, also died.
