Martial law in troubled Bolivia

The government banned protests and meetings in the far northern Pando region and said anyone carrying weapons would be arrested. Officials said six more bodies had been found following a clash in the area on Thursday. Troops wrested control of the main airport in Pando from protesters on Friday and fired into the air, the government said. Media reports says that at least one person was killed in the incident.
