At least three people were killed during clashes in the southern Kyrgyz city of Jalal-Abad, an interim government source said on Friday.

Clashes broke out on Friday in the southern Kyrgyz city of Jalal-Abad between supporters of deposed President Kurmanbek Bakiyev and backers of the interim government.
