Two killed in Argentina riots

Two protesters in Argentina have been killed during a demonstration against the country's current economic crisis.

The deaths are reported to have occurred as police tried to prevent poor and unemployed demonstrators from blocking a bridge in the nation's capital, Buenos Aires.

Two more are said to have been seriously injured in the protest in which police used tear gas and batons to clear the area, Reuters news agency reported.

Protests in the country have been held almost on a daily basis since last December when widespread demonstrations forced the government's resignation.
