Rome tallies up damage from violent protest (AP):
A Carabinieri (Italian paramilitary police) van is engulfed in flames after protesters set it on fire during clashes in Rome, Saturday, Oct. 15, 2011. Italian police fired tear gas and water cannons as protesters in Rome turned a demonstration against corporate greed into a riot Saturday, smashing shop and bank windows, torching cars and hurling bottles. The protest in the Italian capital was part of 'Occupy Wall Street' demonstrations against capitalism and austerity measures that went global Saturday, leading to dozens of marches and protests worldwide.
