Kyrgyz protest hit by violence

13 June, 2005

Security guards are reported to have opened fire on hundreds of protesters in the southern Kyrgyz city of Osh.

At least two people are believed to have been injured in the incident.

The guards were apparently acting in response to an attack on the Alay Hotel by a group of protesters, many of whom were wielding metal bars.

The violence comes after a senior politician was shot dead in the Kyrgyz capital Bishkek on Friday.

I wonder why Bush the Crusader isn't concerned about 'saving' the Kyrgyzstan people and bringing freedom and democracy to their country? It seems that their government is as bad as Saddam's?
