Kyrgyzstan calms after pro-president rioting

Kyrgyzstan’s restive south calmed down today after a failed attempt to take control by supporters of the nation’s deposed president in which one person died and dozens were wounded.

Jalal-Abad regional governor Bektur Asanov insisted that supporters of the interim government are firmly in control of the city after two days of riots - the worst violence since last month’s forcible government change.
