Karimov also cited the uprising that led to the overthrow of Askar Akayev's government in Kyrgyzstan in March in explaining his regime's harsh reply to the violence in Andijan. Blaming the Kyrgyz uprising on "the weakness of authorities there," Karimov said protesters in Andijan expected his government to react similarly. "They had hoped that neither the local authorities nor the state authorities of Uzbekistan would demonstrate firmness, as it happened in Kyrgyzstan," Karimov said. "They wanted a repeat of the events in Kyrgyzstan and they wanted to move what happened in Andijan to Tashkent."

They thought wrong.

Last I heard, only 30 confirmed bodies were found.

The 300 number is the number quoted by the prison breakers and islamist rioters.

I'm as glad as the next guy here to see a few less jihadists above ground...but be careful about giving this guy too much praise. Karimov is a thug and a tyrant of the first order, and Uzbekistan is a hellhole.

I believe that the killings were in response to these so-called protesters breaking out extreme islamists from prison, otherwise known as a jailbreak - easy for many to be backseat drivers.
