New leaders vow to prosecute ex-president

? With the tremors of Kyrgyzstan’s violent revolution subsiding, the country’s provisional leader said Friday that her government will push for an international probe of the former president, who has fled the country.

Ousted leader Kurmanbek Bakiyev left Thursday for neighboring Kazakhstan on a flight arranged by the U.S., Russian and Kazakh leaders in an unusual joint mediation effort. The United Nations, the European Union and the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe also helped negotiate Bakiyev’s departure, which eased fears of a civil war in the strategically placed ex-Soviet nation.
