Men in black masks opened fire with automatic weapons on supporters of President Zviad Gamsakhurdia on Friday, killing at least two unarmed people and wounding 25 others, as power in this violence-seared republic ebbed from the elected head of state to his foes.

While Gamsakhurdia's enemies and allies continued to battle with Kalashnikov rifles, machine guns and T-54 tanks, the afternoon slayings here at a street demonstration were a new, terrible twist in the spiral of bloodshed.

Friday's rally began in a large square next to the Didube railway station several miles from the center of Tbilisi. As about 2,000 Gamsakhurdia backers chanted and rallied in an empty lot, three cars pulled up carrying masked men wearing cowls on their heads and equipped with automatic weapons.

The gunmen got out and fired into the air to disperse the meeting, held in defiance of the state of emergency proclaimed Thursday by the Military Council, formed by the armed opposition. At the crack of the gunfire, hundreds of demonstrators, many of them women, gathered in panic, some stumbling and falling as they tripped over bumps and holes in the ground.

But a group of about 40 outraged Gamsakhurdia loyalists marched toward the attackers and showered them with mud and stones. At least one of the men with assault rifles lowered the muzzle of his weapon and blasted away at the crowd; at least four people were hit by bullets.

By sheer force of numbers, the crowd overwhelmed one of the gunmen, who may have run out of ammunition. They hustled him into a blue minivan. Angry Georgians lined up outside to take turns pummeling and kicking the gunman. He was later removed from the vehicle, motionless and with glazed eyes, after apparently having been beaten to death.

Another assailant was captured by a group of loyalist troops, who rapidly appeared and spirited him away so the crowd could not harm him. Georgians said four of the gunmen were captured but that as many as six others got away in the vehicle they came in-a white, Soviet-made sedan.

According to the Ministry of Health, two demonstrators died in the gunfire-a 26-year-old man and a middle-aged man-and two more were reported near death with bullet wounds. Twenty-five people were hurt, including one child, although the ministry's count seemed to also include demonstrators injured in the stampede to escape.

After the attack, the demonstrators, some now smeared with blood, wept, shouted their hatred of the "fascists" trying to depose their president or wandered in a daze around the lot, which was down a slope from railroad tracks and near an entrance to a Tbilisi subway station.

There was no immediate clue as to the assailants' identities or who had sent them. Anti-Gamsakhurdia activists immediately accused the president of masterminding the attack to discredit them.

Demonstrators who tried to march from the rally site to continue their show of support for the president were turned back at another location by opposition troops who fired in the air. In the late afternoon, Rustaveli Prospekt, the Georgian capital's main thoroughfare, was raked by murderous fire, as snipers defending Gamsakhurdia's command post in a bunker under the Parliament dueled with opposition riflemen and machine-gunners.

In a daring morning maneuver, opposition troops, according to their leaders, formed a ring about a mile in circumference around Government House, cutting off the exit and entrance that they had previously allowed their enemies. "A bird couldn't fly out of there now," said one ultra-radical leader, Georgy Chanturia, of the National Democratic Party.

At the command post of the opposition-allied National Guard, located in the office building that had once housed the Institute of Marxism-Leninism, guardsmen in the intelligence section said presidential troops can now place their forward perimeter no more than 50 yards from Government House.

With National Guard commander Tengiz Kitovani and Dzhaba Ioseliani, the leader of one of the republic's private militias, now spearheading the struggle to oust Gamsakhurdia, opposition forces were forming their own government.

In an ominous development for the survival of Gamsakhurdia's claims on power, officials from Tbilisi's police and prosecutors' office flocked to Ioseliani's headquarters on Friday to submit to the authority of the new Military Council. According to Georgians who attended the closed meetings, the council named Roman Gbentsadze and Bakhtang Razmadze to replace Gamsakhurdia loyalists at the Interior Ministry and prosecutor's office. Other appointments were to be announced later.

Gamsakhurdia, interviewed in his bunker by a small group of American journalists, reiterated his confidence that the Georgian people will never support the "bandits" trying to seize power by unconstitutional means.

But besides the ill-fated rally on Tbilisi's outskirts, there was little proof that Gamsakhurdia-who won 87% of the presidential vote last May-could still rally mass support. State radio was still in his government's hands but Tiblisi's television studios and transmitter have fallen under the control of the opposition.

The Military Council called on Gamsakhurdia to surrender and offered guarantees of safety for him and his family. He said his family is living at a residence in town. Gamsakhurdia on Friday was still forecasting victory and calling on his countrymen to support him with or without arms.

Chanturia, the radical opposition leader, advocated dousing Government House with gasoline and setting it on fire to transform it into a giant funeral pyre. But the only thing holding back the opposition, he asserted, is that many children and other civilians are being held hostage inside the building.

Gamsakhurdia called that charge a "bald-faced lie," and Western reporters have seen no sign of detainees in the parts of the vast building they have been allowed to visit.

Men in black masks opened fire with automatic weapons on supporters of Georgia's president Friday, killing at least two unarmed people and wounding 25 others, as power in this former Soviet republic ebbed from the elected head of state to his foes.

While enemies and allies of President Zviad Gamsakhurdia (ZVEE-ahd gahm suh HER dee uh) continue to battle with Kalashnikov rifles, machine guns and T-54 tanks, the afternoon slayings here at a street demonstration were a new, terrible twist in the spiral of bloodshed.

Friday's rally began in a square next to a railway station several miles outside the center of Tbilisi. As about 2,000 Gamsakhurdia backers chanted and rallied in an empty lot, three cars pulled up carrying masked men with automatic weapons.

The gunmen got out and fired into the air to disperse the meeting, held in defiance of the state of emergency proclaimed Thursday by the Military Council, formed by the armed opposition. At the crack of gunfire, hundreds of demonstrators, many of them women, panicked, some stumbling and falling as they tripped over bumps and holes in the ground.

But about 40 outraged Gamsakhurdia loyalists marched toward the attackers and showered them with mud and stones. At least one of the men with assault rifles lowered the muzzle of his weapon and blasted at the crowd; at least four people were hit by bullets in the head, shoulder, stomach and leg.

By sheer force of numbers, the crowd overwhelmed one of the gunmen, who may have run out of ammunition. They put him into a blue minivan. Angry Georgians lined up outside to take turns pummeling and kicking him. He was later removed from the vehicle, motionless, with glazed eyes, apparently dead.

Another assailant was captured by loyalist troops, who rapidly appeared and spirited him away so the crowd could not harm him. Georgians said four of the gunmen were captured but up to six others fled in the vehicle they came in - a white sedan.

Two demonstrators died in the gunfire - a 26-year-old man and a middle-aged man - and two more were near death after being hit in the heart and eye. Twenty-five people were hurt, including one child.

After the attack, the demonstrators, some now smeared with blood, wept, shouted their hatred of the "fascists" trying to depose their president or wandered in a daze around the lot, which was down a slope from railroad tracks and near an entrance to a Tbilisi subway station.

Friday's demonstration was the first significant public expression of support for Gamsakhurdia, who is now hiding in the basement of the parliament building here with several hundred heavily armed aides. A former dissident nationalist, Gamsakhurdia was elected president of Georgia by an overwhelming majority last May, but many of his supporters have turned against him, accusing him of authoritarian policies.

The vast majority of Georgians have remained neutral in the latest round of the struggle between the president and the opposition, which erupted into fighting Dec. 22. At least 73 people have died, according to Health Ministry figures, and 400 have been wounded.

Until now, the fighting has been concentrated on a few city blocks around the shelled and gutted parliament building, which is ringed by opposition activists toting Kalashnikov rifles. The opposition also controls most of the approach roads into Tbilisi and appears to be succeeding in imposing a night-time curfew on the city.

The fate of this former Soviet republic of 5.4-million people is being decided by about 1,000 heavily armed gunmen who have concentrated their struggle on Rustaveli Prospect, a once gracious tree-lined street of shops and hotels. The shooting at Friday's demonstration served as a warning to the general population not to interfere in the feuding between the different armed groups.

But while the opposition appears to control most of the capital, it will have difficulty forcing Gamsakhurdia's supporters out of the rose-colored parliament building that they have made their stronghold. An all-out assault on the building would probably cost hundreds of lives on both sides.

As opposition activists tightened the noose around the parliament building, several dozen officials from the Georgian Interior Ministry and prosecutor's office reported to opposition headquarters at the Academy of Sciences. They said they were willing to support the "provisional government" headed by former Prime Minister Tengiz Sigua, who broke with Gamsakhurdia last summer after the president adopted an ambiguous stance toward the attempted coup by Communist hard-liners in Moscow.

Opposition leaders have called a meeting of all political parties opposed to Gamsakhurdia today to try to give a semblance of popular backing and legitimacy to the self-appointed Sigua government. Local officials have reacted cautiously to the struggle for power in Tbilisi, waiting to see which side will emerge victorious before declaring their loyalty. - Information from the Los Angeles Times and the Washington Post was used in this report.

FUNERALS OF PRO-PRESIDENT GAMSAKHURDIA PROTESTERS

Story

Mourners on Thursday (January 9) attended the funerals of two protesters killed when gunmen fired on supporters of Georgian President Zviad Gamsakhurdia in Tbilisi last Friday.
One of the victims, a 61 year-old man, only came across the demonstration by chance on his way home from work and joined in. He was hit four times when gunmen opened fire on the crowd.
People knelt in silent tribute as the cortege passed.
A second funeral of a 22 year-old man killed the same day, was held later. His family were all supporters of the ousted president and blamed the new Government for their loss.
The new military council admitted sending gunmen to disperse pro-Gamsakhurdia rallies and warned it may arrest participants in future. It said it wanted to establish contacts with Russian President Boris Yeltsin and the Commonwealth of Independent States.
Supporters of Gamsakhurdia, who had fled to Armenia, insisted he was still their rightful president, and were planning more protests against the military council.

MASKED GUNMEN SHOOT AT UNARMED SUPPORTERS OF PRESIDENT GAMSAKHURDIA

Story

An attack by masked gunmen on unarmed supporters of President Zviad Gamsakhurdia pushed the Georgian capital of Tbilisi close to unbridled bloodshed this weekend (January 4-5).
Two people died instantly, two later and 34 were wounded when the gunmen opened fire on the pro-Gamsakhurdia demonstration on Friday (January 3). The protesters had gathered on the outskirts of Tbilisi in defiance of a "state of emergency" declared by a rebel military council. Several gunmen emerged from three cars and fired shots over the heads of about 2,000 demonstrators, a tactic that had been used at a previous protest.
But the gunmen advanced too close to the crowd and did not expect to be pelted with stones by about 40 protesters.
Possibly in panic, they lowered the barrels of their guns and fired point-blank at the demonstration.
When the crowd turned on the gunmen they fled, but three were caught and at least one of them was beaten up. The three were detained and were being held inside the parliament where Gamsakhurdia has been holding out for nearly two weeks against an armed rebellion.
Gamsakhurdia is opposed by a disparate coalition of armed and unarmed groups, including former allies and ministers, who accuse him of despotism since his overwhelming election victory in May.
More than 200 have been killed in the fighting.
