Papua New Guinea: Looters shot during raid

Two looters were shot dead as a wave of attacks on Chinese-owned shops spread in Papua New Guinea, bringing the death toll to four.

The two men were killed and three others were wounded as a mob tried to raid a store in Wabag, capital of Enga province, police said.

Asian shops in several towns have been attacked in the past week with protesters and looters accusing them of overcharging and demanding they be taken over by locals.
