Q: ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia (AP) — The U.S. Embassy in Ethiopia is confirming that an American has been killed in a part of the country that has seen months of deadly protests. 
  
 The embassy on Wednesday attributed the death to head injuries from a rock thrown by "unknown individuals" on the outskirts of the capital, Addis Ababa. 
  
 An Ethiopian official told The Associated Press that the American was an agricultural expert who had gone to the town of Burayu on Tuesday for field work. 
  
 Fikadu Tessema, head of the Oromia region's spokesman's office, says the agricultural team that went to the town "didn't ask police protection at the time." 
  
 This is the first foreigner killed in the massive anti-government protests that have claimed the lives of hundreds of protesters since November 2015. ||||| An American citizen was killed in Ethiopia on Tuesday after the vehicle she was traveling in was struck by rocks thrown by unknown assailants, the State Department confirmed today. 
  
 “On October 4, in the late afternoon, a passenger van was hit by rocks thrown by unknown individuals on the outskirts of the city of Addis Ababa. One of the passengers, a U.S. citizen, was struck by a rock and subsequently died from her injury,” the U.S. Embassy in Ethiopia said in a consular message issued to Americans in the region. 
  
 State Department spokesman Mark Toner declined to identify the individual due to privacy considerations. “We offer our sincerest condolences to her family and loved ones on their loss,” Toner said, adding that the U.S. is “providing all possible consular assistance.” The State Department has referred all questions about the investigation to local authorities and declined to provide any further information. 
  
 Addis Ababa has seen experienced a great deal of political and religious unrest recently. On Sunday, a protest broken up by the police resulted in a stampede that left more than 50 people dead, according to local reports. 
  
 Demonstrators and government opposition members have been protesting against the Ethiopian government’s plan to integrate infrastructure development and expand the municipal boundary of the capital, Addis Ababa, into surrounding towns in Oromia. Some feared the urban expansion would cause Oromo farmers to lose their traditional lands. 
  
 Largely peaceful protests have been met by federal security forces that have allegedly used excessive and lethal force to quell the demonstrations. More than 400 people are estimated to have been killed, thousands injured and tens of thousands arrested since November 2015, according to a recent report by Human Rights Watch based on over 125 interviews with witnesses, victims and government officials. ||||| Image copyright Reuters Image caption The Oromia region has been hit by waves of protests for almost a year

An American agricultural expert working in Ethiopia was killed Tuesday when unknown individuals threw rocks at the van she was riding in, the AP reports. According to ABC News, the US State Department confirmed the unidentified woman's death Wednesday, offering its "sincerest condolences to her family and loved ones" but providing few details about her death. The woman had been doing field work in the Oromia region outside Addis Ababa Tuesday. A regional spokesperson tells the AP her group "didn't ask for police protection." The woman was the only person killed in the attack. It's unclear if the woman's death is in any way connected, hundreds of people have been killed in violent protests in the area since November 2015, the BBC reports. Anti-government protesters are concerned about the planned expansion of Addis Ababa into Oromia farmland. More than 50 people were killed in a stampede when police stopped a protest Sunday. And many roads in the area were blocked following further protests on Tuesday.
