DAR ES SALAAM, Tanzania (AP) — At least 518 people died in last year’s postelection violence in Tanzania, which happened amid an internet shutdown, a commission formed to investigate said on Thursday. Thousands of people were injured in the violence , with more than 800 people having gunshot wounds. The commission chairman, Mohamed Chande Othman, said that the number of deaths was likely to be higher, because some families buried their loved ones without taking their bodies to morgues. Tanzania
