OSH, Kyrgyzstan (AP) - More than 75,000 ethnic Uzbeks have fled across the border as southern Kyrgyzstan was convulsed by the worst ethnic riots the Central Asian nation has seen in 20 years.
Triumphant crowds of Kyrgyz men took control of Osh, the second-largest city in Kyrgyzstan, on Sunday as the few Uzbeks still left barricaded themselves in their neighborhoods. Fires set by rioters raged across the city of 250,000, and food was scarce after widespread looting. Police or military troops were nowhere to be seen.
The interim government ordered troops to shoot rioters dead, but even that failed to stop the spiraling violence.
The Health Ministry said the official casualty toll Sunday rose to at least 104 people killed and 1,231 wounded. The ministry said this included 21 dead in the main hospital in Jalal-Abad.
