Protesters attack prime minister’s residence in Albania (VIDEOS)

Protesters hurled Molotov cocktails and launched fireworks at the prime minister’s office in the Albanian capital of Tirana during an anti-corruption rally on Friday.

The protesters, led by members of the main opposition force, the Democratic Party, gathered in the small Balkan country’s capital, demanding the resignation of left-wing Prime Minister Edi Rama.

A group of rioters threw incendiary projectiles at the government headquarters and police officers, who responded with tear gas and water cannons. According to local media, the clashes lasted for several hours.
