Ethiopian security forces opened fire Wednesday on stone-throwing protesters in the central business district, leaving 20 people dead, the independent Ethiopian Human Rights Council said. An Associated Press reporter saw 11 bodies in a room in the capital's main hospital, at least four with gunshot wounds to the head, and was told they were only some of the casualties from a third day of protests in the capital over election results. Doctors at another hospital reported receiving two bodies. Abebe Terfe, executive secretary of the Ethiopian Human Rights Council, said a total of 20 people were killed in the clashes in the capital, Addis Ababa, according to a report of the Associated Press.
