Two people were killed and six police were hurt in fresh clashes in Save, a town in central Benin which is a stronghold of the country's former president, investigators said Thursday. "At around 10 am (Wednesday), individuals opened fire on police, seriously wounding six officers... who used their firearms to extract themselves from the situation," Public Prosecutor Adjima Kalifa Djimila said. Save is a stronghold of former president Thomas Boni Yayi, who went into exile last year after being held under de-facto house arrest. str-spb/jh/ri/pma
