OSCE Sends Police Force to Kyrgyzstan

The Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe agreed to send a group of 52 policemen to southern Kyrgyzstan, where up to 2,000 people may have been killed last month in ethnic clashes between Kyrgyz and Uzbeks. The OSCE force will be unarmed and will mostly train local police. Kyrgyzstan previously asked Russia to send armed forces to Kyrgyzstan, but Russia declined.
