My Way News - Ecuador troops rescue president from rebel cops
My Way News reports: "Ecuadorean soldiers firing automatic weapons and concussion grenades rescued President Rafael Correa late Thursday from a hospital where he was trapped most of the day by police rebelling over a cut in benefits [...] The violence began when hundreds of police angry over the new civil service law plunged this oil-exporting South American country into chaos, roughing up and tear-gassing Correa, shutting down airports and blocking highways in a nationwide strike."

Comment: This was very odd, not sure what to make of it, it seems a flimsy excuse for a coup.
