Chile Protests Continue Despite Gov't Retreat on Fare Hike

Associated Press

   SANTIAGO, CHILE - Protests and violence in Chile spilled over into a
   new day Sunday even after the president cancelled a subway fare hike
   that prompted massive and violent demonstrations.

   Officials in the Santiago region said three people died in a fire at a
   looted supermarket early Sunday -- one of 60 Walmart-owned outlets that
   have been vandalized, and the company said many stores did not open
   during the day.

   At least two airlines cancelled or rescheduled flights into the
   capital, affecting more than 1,400 passengers Sunday and Monday.
