Georgia accused of Ossetia war crimes

The BBC has found evidence that Georgia may have committed war crimes in its attack on its breakaway region of South Ossetia in August this year.

The evidence obtained by the BBC's Newsnight programme suggests Georgia used indiscriminate force and may have targeted civilians.

Georgia's president Mikhail Saakashvili reacted and said "we strongly deny any accusation of war crimes".
