Georgian leader questions Russia's intentions as Russian forces return to Gori

TBILISI, Georgia (CNN) - Georgia's leader on Thursday suggested that Russia invaded his country to establish control over the former Soviet republic, where a major oil pipeline passes through.

"The fact that the biggest number of bombs fell on purely economic and civilian targets clearly indicated that was a premeditated thing and it had nothing to do only with Abkhazia or South Ossetia," President Mikheil Saakashvili said at a joint news conference with Turkey's prime minister.

He questioned why Russia attacked Georgia's oil pipelines which, Saakashvili said, "don't have any military significance."

"Why would one attack them unless there is some other purpose...?"
