VENEZUELA-POLITICS-PROTEST-OPPOSITION

A member of the National Police runs away from fire after anti-government protesters threw a Molotov cocktail at them during clashes in Caracas on April 17, 2014. Anti-government protests have rattled Venezuela since February, leaving at least 41 people dead and more than 600 injured, with opposing sides trading blame for the violence. The government of President Nicolas Maduro and opposition reported progress Tuesday in a new round of talks aimed at ending two months of deadly protests that have rocked the oil-rich nation.
