WASHINGTON: US Secretary of State Antony Blinken (pix) said Washington was seeking clarification from Kazakhstan officials on why they needed to call in Russian-led security forces to resolve domestic unrest, and he denounced the government’s shoot-to-kill order.

“The shoot-to-kill order, to the extent it exists, is wrong and should be rescinded,” Blinken said during an interview on ABC’s This Week. — Reuters
