BUJUMBURA, Burundi (AP) - A Russian diplomat was shot to death outside Burundi's capital when he tried to drive through a roadblock and refused to stop, the Burundi army said Saturday.
Vladimir Rushtiko was killed at dawn as soldiers shot at his car to flatten the tires, said Burundi army spokesman Lt. Col. Adolphe Manirakiza.
"Unfortunately a bullet hit him and he died," Manirakiza said. "We regret such a sad incident."
