Groups of assailants have broken into foreign students' housing in the Kyrgyz capital, Bishkek. Amateur footage filmed on the night of May 17-18 and verified by RFE/RL shows crowds outside hostels accommodating foreigners, assailants breaking into rooms and beating people, and the damaged interior of Pakistani students' rooms. The mob was incited by a video purportedly showing a fight between Kyrgyz and Egyptian students.
