Hungary Fires Tear Gas & Water Cannons at Refugees 
---------------------------------------------------


 
In news from Europe, the Hungarian military has begun sending Humvees
mounted with guns toward its border with Serbia, as the Hungarian police
detained dozens of refugees and fired tear gas and water cannons at
hundreds more. Thousands of refugees have changed course and set out
across Croatia, where the government has dispatched a team of mine
clearers out of concern refugees might be killed or maimed by mines left
over from fighting in the mid-1990s.
