Bolivia clashes leave three dead as security forces break fuel blockade

• 22 injured as armoured cars and helicopters deployed
• Evo Morales supporters call on interim president to quit

At least three people have been killed and 22 injured after Bolivian police and military forces used armored vehicles and helicopters to unblock access to a major fuel plant that had been blockaded by supporters of former president Evo Morales.

Smoke rose from burning tyres and a military helicopter was seen flying over the area near the the Senkata gas plant on Tuesday, after security forces ended the blockade which had cut off fuel supply to nearby La Paz.
