Hong Kong Braces for Airport Protest After Night of Violent Clashes

Reuters

   HONG KONG - Hong Kong announced new curbs on rail travel Sunday ahead
   of the latest in a series of planned protests targeting the airport
   after a night of widespread violent street clashes in the Chinese-ruled
   territory.

   Anti-government protesters have targeted the airport before, occupying
   the arrivals hall, blocking approach roads and setting street fires in
   the nearby town of Tung Chung.

   "The airport is still the most important asset to the government," a
   23-year-old protester said Saturday. She only gave her name as Kay. "We
   will adopt hit-and-run tactics and each time help us to gain
   experience. That's why I am still calling people to the airport."
