Kyrgyzstan's interim leader Roza Otunbayeva has said the death toll in the country's worst ethnic violence in decades could be as high as 2,000. Ms Otunbayeva made the comments in the Russia’s Kommersant newspaper, saying that the real toll might never be known because of the custom of family burying loved ones as soon as possible. However, she said the real toll could be10 times the official figures. According to official figures, at least 191 people were killed in fighting between Kyrgyz and ethnic Uzbeks around Osh and Jalalabad. Ms Otunbeyeva met with officials in Osh on during her visit to the city for the first time since the violence. About 400,000 people have fled their homes, with many ethnic Uzbeks crossing into Uzbekistan during the violence.
