South Africa Breaks Up Anti-Obama Protest

Police fired rubber bullets and a stun grenade into a crowd of hundreds of protesters before President Barack Obama arrived at the University of Johannesburg on Saturday. The crowd, which assembled in opposition to the U.S. relationship with Israel, scattered as police officers walked up the street pushing protesters away with shot guns. "I feel my rights are being infringed," said 24-year-old Bilaal Qibr, who was at the protest. "We can't protest anymore. Personally, I feel like this is an extension of the U.S."
