Demonstrators storm Syrian embassy in Berlin

Published Updated

A group of about 30 demonstrators stormed the Syrian embassy in Berlin overnight and confronted the ambassador to Germany, police said Sunday, following similar protests in other European cities. No one was injured, a police spokesman told AFP, in an incident believed linked to the killing of Meshaal Tamo, a Syrian Kurdish opposition figure killed Friday.
The protesters, Syrian nationals, broke through a gate in the fence and then penetrated the building, where they found the ambassador.
