Several killed, 100 injured in Kyrgyz capital riots

At least two people were killed and some 100 injured in clashes between rioters and police in Bishkek, the capital of the ex-Soviet state of Kyrgyzstan, a police source told RIA Novosti on Wednesday.

Police dispersed a large number of demonstrators who marched to the government headquarters on Bishkek's central square.

Major political unrest started in Kyrgyzstan last month, with opposition forces accusing the government of tightening its grip on power while failing to bring stability and economic growth.
