Volunteers in the Kyrgyz capital, Bishkek, say they have stopped attacks by looters amid a power vacuum in the Central Asian nation. The volunteers, who organized through social-media channels, said they had to step in to protect buildings and property as police had vanished from many areas. Kyrgyzstan's government resigned after mass protests over parliamentary elections many saw as rigged.
