Hong Kong protesters target airport as city mops up

Black-clad protesters built barricades at the airport bus station and attempted to stop traffic on the main road leading to terminals.

Thousands of Hong Kong pro-democracy activists blocked some routes to the city's airport Sunday as the financial hub cleaned up after another night of violent protests marked by fires, tear gas and police beatings.

Outside one airport terminal Sunday, protesters set off fire extinguishers, piled luggage trolleys into makeshift road barricades and smashed surveillance cameras before being driven away by police. "It's out of our control," said Andy Tang, 26, returning to Australia from a week's holiday in Hong Kong."So there's no point getting annoyed about it."

Hours earlier, a huge fire burned in the city's commercial district as chaos ripped through the centre of a city usually renowned for its stability and prosperity. Decrying the"horrifying" police raid on the train carriage, Amnesty International called for a probe into police conduct.
