Police Fire Warning Shots in Albania Protest

Police Fire Warning Shots in Albania Protest
There has been tension in Albania's capital, with thousands of opposition supporters demanding the resignation of Prime Minister Fatos Nano. Security forces fired live shots into the air as a crowd apparently tried to break into government buildings in Tirana. Officials say the police only fired warning shots and no one was hurt. The protestors blame worsening living conditions on bad governance. Opposition leader Sali Berisha addressed the crowd and then led a protest march. The prime minister, who is currently visiting Spain, survived a vote of no confidence put forward by the opposition last month. Post-communist Albania's transition into democracy and a market economy has been marked by ongoing political tension. **PHOTO CAPTION*** Sali Berisha.
