Kyrgyz gov't supporters try to retake offices

None

Thousands of supporters of Kyrgyzstan's interim government have launched simultaneous attempts to retake two regional official buildings occupied by backers of the deposed president.

 

In the city of Osh, hundreds of people on Friday morning ejected a crowd that had taken the regional government headquarters a day earlier. But a similar attempt at the Jalal-Abad government office was thwarted when men inside the compound fired gunshots into the air. (AP)
