Outside Secret Service jurisdiction,
which was the major problem.  They were
relying on the Georgian police (please
tell me I got the country right)
and...there was a screw up somewhere.

Outside the US the protection is
limited to the core agents in the
detail (those bodily surrounding the
President) and the country in
question's dignitary detail.

The FBI was later called in AFTER the
attack, freeing up the Secret Service
to go back to protecting the President
with their own investigation team
assisting.

Not to mention I dont' think there was
a warning before hand, as the only had
half the bullet proof glass up they
would have otherwise had, of course, if
the warning was credible, he wouldn't
have been there at all.
