Uzbeks mourn loved ones as soldiers prowl streets
Flowers dotted the streets and freshly-dug graves scarred the earth across the eastern Uzbek city of Andijan as residents mourned what witnesses said were hundreds killed by security forces last week – the worst unrest since the former Soviet republic won independence in 1991.
New reports said violence in nearby towns killed hundreds more, further threatening the stability of the government of President Islam Karimov.
