Russian military convoy heads deeper into Georgia

[August 13, 2008]  OUTSIDE GORI, Georgia (AP) -- An Associated Press reporter has seen a convoy of several dozen Russian military trucks and armored vehicles heading out of a key city deeper into Georgia.

The development comes after a French-brokered truce which obliged Russia to withdraw its troops to positions they held before the conflict in the breakaway province of South Ossetia.

An AP reporter outside the city of Gori saw the convoy speeding past and heading south. And Georgia's Security Council chief says Russians bombed and looted Gori on Wednesday.
