Nairobi, May 3 (AP) Ethiopian officials say they have arrested 76 suspects following unrest that erupted in the capital, Addis Ababa, during Eid al-Fitr prayers on Monday. Six security officials were arrested for “negligence” over the killings, according to officials in the northwestern Amhara region. “A few individuals have caused an unrest that led to damages to property and injuries to security forces. Seventy-six suspects are now under custody,” Ethiopia's security task force said in a statement Tuesday without providing more details. The ongoing civil war in Ethiopia's northern Tigray region has exacerbated ethnic tensions.
