Kyrgyzstan’s army implicated in ethnic bloodshed

The long-awaited report by the Kyrgyzstan Inquiry Commission issued Tuesday is expected to rekindle ferocious debate around rivaling narratives over the unrest.
The report says the presence of armored personnel carriers that appeared to be carrying uniformed soldiers and their deployment in attacks on minority ethnic Uzbek neighborhoods suggests the military was also directly involved.
More than 400 people, mainly Uzbeks, were killed in a frenzy of violence in June that rocked the southern cities of Osh and Jalal-Abad and forced hundreds of thousands to flee their homes.
