CONAKRY, Jan 22 (Reuters) - More than 20 people were killed and at least 150 were injured in Guinea on Monday in clashes between security forces and protesters on the most violent day of a 13-day-old anti-government general strike, officials said.

A doctor at the Donka Hospital in Conakry said 17 people were killed by gunfire in the capital, while a senior local government official said six other people were killed in the northeastern towns of Kankan and Siguiri.
