Burundi Police Teargas Protesters

Three people were killed on Friday in grenade attacks on police in Burundi where nearly 600 people have been arrested during protests and a clash sparked by the president's bid to stay in power.

Burundian police fired tear gas and water cannon on Friday at hundreds of protesters opposed to the president running for a third term, a Reuters witness said, a further sign of tension in a nation that emerged from civil war a decade ago.
