Militants blamed as 19 people killed in Uzbek attacks
The suicide bombings by two women were the first ever reported in the former Soviet central Asian republic that is now a staunch ally of the US led anti-terror campaign in neighbouring Afghanistan.
Prosecutor-General Rashid Kadyrov said the events began on Sunday night with an explosion that killed 10 people at a house being used by extremists in the central province of Bukhara.
