TUZLA – Agence France-Presse
Protesters angry over Bosnia’s devastated economy broke into a government building in the northeastern city of Tuzla on Feb. 7, destroying furniture and throwing television sets through windows.
Some 100 hooded young men were seen storming the building with flames and thick smoke billowing from the first floor windows a short while later.
Thousands of protesters cheered them on as they carried out their rampage and prevented two fire engines from reaching the building.
The violence came on the third day of protests over the dire economic situation in a country where unemployment stands at 44 percent.
