From Times Wire Reports
Riots convulsed the city of Sucre after allies of President Evo Morales approved the framework for a new constitution that would end presidential term limits and could radically alter Bolivian politics.
At least two people, including a police officer, were killed. Demonstrators burned police stations and stormed a jail, freeing 100 inmates.
The new constitution, if approved by voters, would establish a multiethnic state with 36 self-governing regions for indigenous groups.
Morales did not set a date for a vote.
