A Fiji soldier runs across the street in Suva during the siege of a local police headquarters. Three men stormed a Suva police station, firing six gunshots, and held several police and army officers captive for almost two hours before handing over their weapons.
The men were led by Lieutenant Papu Waqavonovono, whose son Anare was allegedly killed by an ethnic Indian soldier in Lebanon this year. He was looking for Henry Ali, but could not get to him. The military was called in to defuse the situation and there were no injuries during the stand-off.
