One dead in Philippine squatter riots
One person was killed and at least six were injured today as heavily-armed riot police clashed with hundreds of squatters in a suburb of the Philippine capital Manila, police said. The fatality occurred as squatters blocked a road in the residential suburb of Paranaque, hurling large stones at police, armed with shields and truncheons, who were trying to disperse them. Local precinct commander Senior Inspector Ani Endraca said one person was killed and another was in a critical condition after they were shot.
