Western journalist attacked – cont'd

Update – Five men in ski masks entered Norwegian journalist’s Ragnar Skre‘s apartment at around 22:00 last night in Tbilisi.  According to my contact, a police officer who arrived at the scene said it was just a robbery while another police officer said it was because he was a journalist.  After the beating, the five men took off and left behind a roll of duct tape.  Nothing was stolen.
