A suicide bomber on a motorcycle in the line of vehicles detonated his explosives and Buadze got life-threatening injuries.

 

Two other Georgian servicemen Sergeant Giorgi Tsikarishvili and soldier Irakli Kuchukhidze were also injured but Iveri Buadze’s health was critical.

 

Iveri Buadze was first sent for treatment to Germany and afterwards - to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Washington for rehabilitation.

 

The Georgian Defense Ministry reports that the Georgian officer is currently on sick leave and he will continue serving as a Staff S-2 assistant of the second Infantry Brigade shortly.
