MOSCOW: The Prime Minister of the former Soviet republic of Georgia, Zurab Zhvania (in the picture), has died in what officials said was a gas poisoning incident. Mr. Zhvania's bodyguards found the 41-year-old Premier dead in an armchair at a friend's apartment, Georgia's Interior Minister, Vano Merabishvili, told reporters. The friend, Raul Usupov, who had just been named regional Deputy Governor, was also found dead in the flat. Officials said the two men's death was apparently caused by carbon dioxide exhausts from an Iranian gas heater recently installed in the flat which had no proper ventilation system for the gas. Mr. Zhvania, former Parliament Speaker, had joined hands with the former Justice Minister, Mikhail Saakashvili, to topple the veteran President, Eduard Shevardnadze, in a pro-Western "revolution of roses" in November 2003.
