Ousted Kyrgyzstan Leader Supporters Attempt Coup -- Reuters
(Reuters) - Supporters of ousted Kyrgyz president Kurmanbek Bakiyev seized control of three government buildings in the southern part of the Central Asian state in an apparent coup attempt, witnesses and officials said on Thursday.
Supporters of Bakiyev, who fled the country a month ago, seized the buildings in the cities of Osh, Jalalabad and Batken, kidnapped the governor of Jalalabad region and tried to take control of the area's main airport in Osh.
