Pankisi Gorge crisis
The Pankisi Gorge crisis was a political crisis with military dimension in Georgia early in the 2000s. Georgia was pressured by Russia and the United States to repress the threats of Al-Qaeda in the Pankisi Gorge.
== The ricin crisis ==
It was largely unknown why Abu Musab al-Zarqawi chose to move into Pankisi Gorge〔http://www.jamestown.org/single/?no_cache=1&tx_ttnews%5Btt_news%5D=330〕 when he could have also struck into Chechnya, where Al-Qaeda's presence was strong. In the build-up to the Iraq War in early 2003, dozens of North Africans (mainly Algerians) were arrested in the United Kingdom, France and Spain on charges of preparing ricin and other chemical weapons. Colin Powell and others trumpeted the arrests as proof of the threat posed by the Zarqawi-Chechen-Pankisi ricin network, which has now been expanded to include the Ansar al-Islam of Kurdish northern Iraq.
French and British security officials were astounded by Powell's insistence on February 12, 2003, saying that "the ricin that is bouncing around Europe now originated in Iraq." With the Iraq invasion only weeks away, the source of the ricin threat moved from Georgia to Iraq.
Sergei Ivanov reported that the Spanish suspects had been trained in Pankisi Gorge by Al-Qaeda terrorists. In the Pankisi Gorge, there were also several Al-Qaeda laboratories that were producing ricin.
