BBC News - 'Two dead' as Morocco breaks up Western Sahara camp: "Two officials have been killed and dozens injured as Moroccan security forces broke up a protest camp in Western Sahara, say reports.
The camp, for several thousand people near the territory's capital, Laayoune, was the biggest protest against Moroccan rule in the 35-year dispute.
Officials said the fighting later spread to the streets of Laayoune.
The violence comes hours before talks are scheduled to begin in the US on the future of the disputed territory.
The Gdaim Izik camp was set up about a month ago outside Laayoune and houses more than 12,000 people."
