| [Voice of America] BUJUMBURA, BURUNDI — Three people have died in grenade attacks in Burundi, a spokesman for the ministry of public security said Saturday, during a week that has seen street protests against President Pierre Nkurunziza's controversial decision to seek a third term. Two police officers died in one attack on a police station in the capital's central market and a civilian died in another attack in the capital's Kamenge area, said Pierre Nkurikiye. Seventeen people were wounded in the grenade attacks which occurred Friday night, he said. Police have arrested two suspects but the motive of the attacks is not known, said Nkurikiye. At least six people have been killed in clashes with the police this week, according to the Burundi Red Cross. A funeral for one of those killed in the protests was held Saturday. |
