Kyrgyzstan holds funeral ceremonies

Funeral ceremonies are being held in Kyrgyzstan for some of the at least 78 people killed during a violent uprising that ousted the president.
Thousands of mourners watched as 15 coffins draped in the national flag were carried through the burial ground outside the capital, Bishkek.
The interim leader, Roza Otunbayeva, said those killed were heroes.
Meanwhile, the US has suspended all troop flights to Afghanistan from Kyrgyzstan amid continuing tension.
In the early hours of Saturday morning, hundreds of cars drove to a memorial site some 20km (12 miles) outside Bishkek for the funerals of 15 of those who died during last week's violence.
Other victims were being buried at private family funerals.
The memorial site was the scene of a massacre by Soviet forces in the 1930s of Kyrgyz noblemen.
Solemn music played as families and friends laid name plates and pictures of the victims.
The funerals marked the second day of mourning in the country, where calm appears to have largely returned.
