LA PAZ (Reuters) - At least eight people were killed and 34 wounded in a confrontation between pro- and anti-government groups in Bolivia, a government official said on Thursday, confirming early radio reports

Peasants who support President Evo Morales clashed with anti-Morales protesters who work for the opposition-led local government in the Amazonian province of Pando in northern Bolivia.

Sacha Llorenti, deputy minister of social movements, called the incident a "massacre" orchestrated by an opposition leader in Pando.
