Two Pakistani students have been killed in the violence hit region of Kyrgyzstan. The security forces tanks have shifted stranded students to the parliament house.

Pakistan will send a C-130 aircraft to evacuate 269 stranded Pakistani nationals from the region, reported a private TV channel.

The official death toll in violence has reached 117 with 1,500 hurt, the Health Ministry of this beleaguered former Soviet country, which hosts U.S. and Russian military bases, announced early Monday.

According to a Pakistani student Ubaidullah Ansari two Pakistani students have been killed in violence in Osh region including Ali Raza and a girl student.

The father of deceased Pakistani student Ali Raza has said his son was a student of electrical engineering in Osh University. He said Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi had inform him last night that the Kyrgys authorities have handed over the body of his son to Pakistani Embassy.

Dr. Sameeaa a student of Osh University who was taken hostage along with other students has told the channel that the security forces tanks rescued her and other stranded students and shifted them to the parliament house.

According to officials Pakistani students will be sent back to home after formal diplomatic procedure.

Sporadic gunfire continued through the night and fresh fires raged in southern Kyrgyzstan on Monday, as the Central Asian nation’s worst ethnic violence in decades that prompted thousands to flee showed no signs of abating.

The official death toll reached 117 with 1,500 hurt, the Health Ministry of this beleaguered former Soviet country, which hosts U.S. and Russian military bases, announced early Monday.

Accounts from international aid agencies and other witnesses suggest the real figures could be multiples higher: the International Committee of the Red Cross has said its delegates witnessed about 100 bodies being buried in just one cemetery.

In days of attacks, mobs of rioters slaughtered ethnic minority Uzbeks and burned their homes and businesses. More than 75,000 Uzbeks fled the country amid attacks that also appeared aimed at undermining the new interim government
