BBC News - Senegal clashes erupt as court clears Wade poll bid

BBC News - Senegal clashes erupt as court clears Wade poll bid: "Violence has broken out in Senegal after the country's top court ruled that President Abdoulaye Wade can run for a third term in office next month.

Protesters set buildings and barricades on fire in the capital. A policeman was killed in the unrest, officials say.

The court also barred Senegal's best-known music star Youssou N'Dour - an opponent of Mr Wade - from standing."
