22 'evil-doers' killed in Burundi clashes: Police

At least 22 "evil-doers" have been killed in clashes between Burundi's security forces and an armed group near the country's economic capital, Bujumbura, according to police.

The fighting on Sunday in the hills of western Bujumbura-Rural province also killed two police officers, police spokesman Pierre Nkurikiye said late on Tuesday.

Nkurikiye said the group "took advantage of the electoral period" to cause trouble in the country, which is scheduled to hold a presidential election in May.
