The office windows were broken, the front door knocked down, the furniture damaged and the papers stolen early on Sunday, the party\'s press center told Interfax. \"This savage act was timed to coincide with the party\'s congress due to take place in Tbilisi on October 3. The authorities and the radical forces supporting them are trying to foil our congress,\" head of the party\'s Telavi branch Giorgy Tsikarishvili told the press on Sunday. Several district leaders of the Justice party have been attacked and beaten up this week. Police have failed to track down the assailants, although victims said they had been attacked by policemen. The Prosecutor General\'s Office put Giorgadze on a wanted list in 1995 on charges of organizing an attempt on the life of former Georgian President Eduard Shevardnadze. (Interfax)
