Kazakhstan president: Nation under attack by foreign-trained gangs

Early today in a televised address, Kazakhstan's president Kassym-Jomart Tokayev announced that “Almaty was attacked, destroyed, vandalized, the residents of Almaty became victims of attacks by terrorists, bandits, therefore it is our duty … to take all possible actions to protect our state."

The Kazakh president said he had appealed to the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) for help in quelling protests across the country that he said were led by "terrorist gangs".
