BLASTS HIT EMBASSIES

Two people have been killed in three suicide bombings on the US and Israeli embassies in Tashkent, Uzbekistan.

Suspected Islamic suicide bombers have launched attacks on the American and Israeli embassies in Uzbekistan.

The two deaths occured in the capital Tashkent, where nine others were injured.

The co-ordinated attacks came four days after the ex-Soviet state put 15 suspected al Qaeda followers on trial for bomb attacks in March that killed nearly 50 people.

The Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan has claimed responsibility for the attacks.

Officials said the three bombers appeared to approach the buildings on foot.

"One policeman and one security guard who were guarding the embassies were killed," the Uzbek Interior Ministry said.

"Nine people were injured. Two of them are in a serious condition."

Sources said one of the dead in the Israeli embassy attack was the ambassador's personal bodyguard.

A man blew himself up in the lobby of the prosecutor's office, wounding five people.

A US embassy spokeswoman said there had been no injuries confirmed among staff there.
