Paraguay congress set on fire amid presidential controversy

Protesters stormed the legislature, breaking windows and fences.

Protesters were photographed smashing in windows of the congress building in Asuncion on Friday night and setting fire to the interior.

The AFP news agency said protesters "ransacked" the offices of those who backed the bill.
