Two Dead, 20 Hurt in Clashes Over Venezuela Vote

Two people were shot and killed and more than 20 injured on Friday when Venezuelan troops battled in the streets with opposition protesters who demanded that President Hugo Chavez submit to a recall vote, officials said.

Confused gunfire broke out during several hours of violent clashes that turned parts of Caracas into a debris-strewn war zone and delayed the start of an international summit on poverty hosted by Chavez.
