Kyrgyz police accuse the six of being involved in last year's violence in the eastern Uzbek city of Andijon.

Police say they found 400 grams of explosives during a search of one of the suspects' houses on July 18.

Uzbek authorities accuse Yuldoshev's group, Akramiya, of being behind the antigovernment protests in Andijon, and that Yuldoshev masterminded the violence from his prison cell.

He was sentenced in 1999 to 17 years in prison for anticonstitutional activities.

Witnesses claim government troops opened fire on a peaceful protest in Andijon on May 13, 2005, killing hundreds. The Uzbek government describes the incident as an armed uprising and maintains that 187 people -- all either "terrorists," police, or soldiers -- were killed in the ensuing crackdown.
