- <p> The central Asian state of Tajikistan imposed a state of
- emergency in a southern province following the death of two
- progovernment commanders, reportedly in a shoot-out. Capping
- months of wrangling, Tajik sources say, Sangak Sa farov and
- Faizali Saidov went for their guns during an argument over the
- fate of refugees seeking to return from Afghanistan. Authorities
- fear the deadly duel could spark reprisals among the chieftains'
- followers and embolden Islamic and nationalist insurgents to
- reignite the fighting that has already claimed more than 20,000
- lives.
