49 Police Injured in Tunisia Riot

Residents in Guellala, Tunisia rioted Saturday, as they protested the reopening of a trash dump, in their area.

Hundreds of rioters attacked police when they came to stop the riot.

Forty-nine officers were injured and six police vehicles were destroyed when the mob threw rocks and gas bombs at the arriving officers.

Police reinforcements showed up, launching tear gas as they came, dispersing the riot and rescuing their comrades.

Two civilians were reportedly injured when they attempted to block the path of police, who were attempting to gain entrance to the dump.
