1 dead as Hindus, Muslims clash in Bangalore
 One person was killed and four were wounded on Sunday when police shot at clashing mobs of Hindus and Muslims in Bangalore, police and witnesses said. The clash occurred in the city centre after Hindu mobs went on a rampage, burning shops and vehicles owned by Muslims. A police officer said police had been forced to open fire to break up the clashes. He said one person was killed and four wounded. The violence occurred as activists moved through the city to join an RSS rally. On Friday, thousands of Muslim demonstrators protesting against last monthÂ’s execution of Saddam Hussein in Iraq clashed with police and destroyed shops and cars in the city. More than 2,000 police officers patrolled the affected areas as mobs targeted Muslim shops and vehicles, forcing the closure of some businesses, witnesses said. Posted by: Fred 2007-01-22 |
