English language Press TV said Mousavi's 35-year-old nephew Ali Mousavi was killed by "unknown assailants."

Amateur video footage purportedly from the center of Tehran showed an enraged crowd carrying away one of the casualties, chanting, "I'll kill, I'll kill the one who killed my brother." In several locations in the center of the capital, demonstrators fought back furiously against security forces, hurling stones and setting their motorcycles, cars and vans ablaze, according to video footage and websites. Demonstrations also took place in at least three other cities.

The protesters in Tehran tried to cut off roads with burning barricades that filled the sky with billowing black smoke. One police officer was photographed with blood streaming down his face after he was set upon by the crowd in a blazing street, Kazinform cites Arab News. See www.arabnews.com for full version.
