| Mexican police clash with protesters in Oaxaca
REUTERS 4:48 p.m. November 25, 2006 OAXACA CITY, Mexico – Riot police firing tear gas clashed with protesters launching fireworks and throwing Molotov cocktails Saturday in the strife-torn city of Oaxaca. At least two protesters were injured, local radio said. The violence began when hundreds of activists demanding that a state governor resign tried to surround federal police occupying the colonial city's central square. Federal authorities forced their way into the city last month in an attempt to end a six-month conflict that has killed more than a dozen people. The protesters had taken over much of Oaxaca City, putting up roadblocks and driving out local police in a bid to force the removal of Gov. Ulises Ruiz, whom they say is corrupt.
