BISHKEK: Opposition leaders in Kyrgyzstan say they have formed a new acting government in the Central Asian nation.

The announcement was made Wednesday on a state television channel that opposition members stormed and seized in the capital of Bishkek.

Temir Sariyev, an opposition party leader, told The Associated Press that a coalition of politicians had agreed on a new prime minister as well as a new interior minister and new security chief.

Officials say 40 people have been killed and more than 400 wounded Wednesday in clashes with police trying to quell the anti-government uprising.
