Hungary Fires Tear Gas & Water Cannons at Refugees

HeadlineSep 17, 2015

Thousands of refugees have changed course and set out across Croatia, where the government has dispatched a team of mine clearers out of concern refugees might be killed or maimed by mines left over from fighting in the mid-1990s.
