ByVisit msnbc.com for Breaking News, World News, and News about the Economy
Reports of clashes in the streets are beginning to come in:
Riot police battled with protesters Saturday as officials announced
that President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad had won a landslide election
victory. His opponent denounced the results as "treason"... NBC News reported "violent clashes" between rock-throwing protesters and police in the center of Tehran.... Several injuries were reported after police
officers hit protesters with batons. Witnesses said some demonstrators
appeared to have been arrested. Black-clad
police also gathered around key government buildings and mobile phone
text messaging was blocked in an apparent attempt to stifle one of the
main communication tools by Mousavi's movement.
