Video of police under 'firecracker attack' in clash over trash in Italy

"Protesters in southern Italy have clashed with police during demonstrations sparked by poor conditions at a local rubbish dump. The government blamed the facility's state on bad management from a regional operator.
Prime Minister Berlusconi promised a fast solution to the crisis in Terzigno, where protesters have set vehicles ablaze, burned Italian flags and hurled stones and firecrackers at police. Berlusconi pledged millions of euros in compensation and denied there has been any health risk to residents."
