Burkina Faso parliament set ablaze
Protesters angry at plans to allow Burkina Faso's President Blaise Compaore to extend his 27-year-rule have set fire to parliament, the BBC reported.
The BBC's Laeila Adjovi in the capital, Ouagadougou, say the city hall and ruling party headquarters are also in flames.
Earlier, the military reportedly fired at protesters who stormed parliament.
Parliament was due to consider changing the constitution so that Mr Compaore can run for office again next year.
He first took power in a coup in 1987, and has won four disputed elections since then.
The opposition has called for a campaign of civil disobedience to demand that he steps down next year.
