Peruvian police killed

Nine Peruvian policemen seized by Amazonian indigenous protesters have been killed during a rescue bid which freed 22 others, officials say.

The hostages were taken on Friday during clashes near Bagua which left at least 22 tribesmen and 11 police dead.
A police official accused the protesters of killing the hostages.

Eyewitnesses in the northern city of Jaen told the BBC they believed the number of dead to be even higher.
