Shortly thereafter, either the protesters came under military assault, or government troops fired on the crowd to stop the takeover of the local government administration building, depending upon which report is true (SEE:Tajikistan: In Khorog rally to protest against the killing I.Imomnazarova ). After the firing, two thousand of the protesters moved the rally to Imomnazarov's home, where they are still assembled, I assume. This really could be the opening salvos in a second Tajik civil war.]
