    BEIJING, May 18 -- In Uzbekistan, the government says troops did not kill any civilians in last weekend's unrest in the eastern town of Andijan. Prosecutor-General Rashid Kadyrov delivered this message at a news conference in the capital, Tashkent.

    Kadyrov says 169 people were killed, including three women, two children and 37 troops.

    At the same briefing, President Islam Karimov blamed alleged Islamic militants for the unrest. He asked journalists if they could really believe that people who stormed a prison and a government building were peaceful protestors.

    Opposition figures are blaming government forces for most of the killings. An Uzbek opposition party says it has compiled a list of 745 people killed.
