Tear Gas Deployed as Anti-G7 Protesters Storm UN Buildings in Geneva

Swiss authorities deployed tear gas Saturday against protesters who descended on United Nations buildings in Geneva, according to a Reuters witness on the scene.

The demonstrators, who were rallying in opposition to a G7 summit being held across the border in France, directed their anger at UN facilities in the Swiss city. Some in the crowd hurled stones at a UN telecommunications building, while others threw flares as police worked to push them away from the site.
