As Night Falls, Tehran Still Ablaze
The Iranian capital was still in the grip of rioting as darkness fell Saturday night. Vali Asr Avenue, the city's most historic thoroughfare which traverses the city, has not seen anything like it since the 1979 Iranian Revolution
Authorities discontinued cellphone communications, blocked several websites and moved swiftly to squash pockets of resistance.
Rioters continued battling riot police on motorcycles and bassiji militias, as residents watching the violence from balconies and rooftops shouted "death to the dictator."
