Gateway Pundit has been following elections in Kyrgyzstan as well, and note unrest in the south over fraud, along with violations of people being bought off. Make sure to read it over.

In addition to that, a grenade was aimed at an opposition leader, but it did not succeed. But read this:

BISHKEK, March 3 (Reuters) – Assailants threw a grenade into the empty apartment of a prominent Kyrgyz opposition leader on Thursday, causing no casualties, in an attack both opposition and authorities accused each other of staging.

The blast occurred days after the first of two rounds of a tense parliamentary election in the ex-Soviet state bordering China that international observers said fell short of international standards for democracy.

Roza Otunbayeva, a former foreign minister and an outspoken critic of veteran President Askar Akayev, told Reuters that unidentified assailants had thrown a small explosive device, thought to be grenade, at her apartment in the capital Bishkek.

“I believe the authorities were behind this,” she said. “They are trying to scare me.”

Akayev’s spokesman denied any official involvement and in turn accused the opposition of staging the blast in an attempt to discredit Kyrgyz authorities.

“This show was put on to demonstrate to international organisations what difficult conditions they (the opposition) work under,” the spokesman, Abdil Segizbayev, told reporters.

What a circus. Note from my recent post on Azerbaijan that some authorities there have blamed the opposition for the death of Huseynov. The same has been floated by Syria in terms of Hariri’s murder.
