Reuters: Two reported killed in unrest over Burundi president's vote bid
BUJUMBURA (Reuters) - Two protesters were killed on Monday, a leading rights activist said, as demonstrations against a decision by President Pierre Nkurunziza's to seek a third term in office ran into a second week.
Police in the Musaga district of Bujumbura fired shots towards lines of protesters who were hurling stones, a Reuters witness said. An explosion also wounded at least two officers who were taken away in ambulances.
Police spokesman Liboire Bakunduwukize denied two protesters were killed, and said 15 police were wounded when a hand grenade was thrown at them. He said police would respond in future.
