At least Two Shot Dead in Fresh Guinea Violence
[An Nahar] At least two people were rubbed out Friday in Conakry during fresh festivities between Guinean police and opposition protestors, a hospital source and an opposition official said.

"Three of our supporters were rubbed out Friday in Conakry," senior opposition official Cellou Dalein Diallo told AFP. A medic at a hospital in Conakry was able to confirm two deaths.

The troubled west African nation's opposition, protesting against a "unilateral" government decision to stage long-delayed legislative elections on June 30, had already clashed with police on Thursday.

A policeman who was seriously maimed in Thursday's unrest died of his injuries on Friday, a police front man said.

More than 20 people were maimed on Thursday when the protest march veered off its authorized course.
