Burundi crisis: At least 34 bodies found in Bujumbura
At least 34 bodies have been found lying in the streets of Burundi's capital as unrest worsens.
A BBC reporter saw 21 in one district of Bujumbura and local officials spoke of 13 in another. Most appear to be young men killed by gunfire, some with their hands tied behind their backs.
The bodies were found a day after attacks on three military sites.
Unrest has blighted Burundi since an attempted coup in May and protests over the president's continued rule.
