Ethiopian police have shot dead a security chief suspected of orchestrating a deadly bid to overthrow the regional Amhara government, with possible links to the murder of the army chief, state media reported Monday.
Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed's office had named Amhara security chief Asaminew Tsige as the chief suspect in an 'attempted coup' in the region that left its president, top adviser and attorney general dead on Saturday.
A few hours later in what the government said appeared to be a 'co-ordinated attack', the army chief Seare Mekonnen was killed by his bodyguard at his home in Addis Ababa.
