TBILISI (Reuters) - A mother and her eight-year-old daughter were killed in Georgia Saturday when workers blew up a towering Soviet war memorial.

The demolition, to make way for a new parliament building, has already been condemned by Georgia's opposition and by Russia, which fought a brief war with Georgia last year.

Russia said it was "sacrilege" and accused Georgia of pursuing a "manic drive to erase the historical memory of its own people."

The victims were killed by lumps of concrete sent hurtling into the courtyard of their home in the country's second city of Kutaisi, local media said. Reports said four other people were in a serious condition in hospital.

Georgia's chief prosecutor, Murtaz Zodelava, said Saturday's detonation had "resulted in tragedy."

"According to preliminary information, security norms were violated," he told a televised news briefing. He said the detonation was carried out by a private demolition company.

That's a cool way to go about it.

The weight of history has literally smashed the image of tyranny. It works on a lot of levels.
