In Iran, fresh clashes have erupted in Tehran during the funeral of a student killed in anti-government protests. Iranian state television says, rival groups of pro- and anti-government protesters both claim the dead man as one of their supporters. Saleh Jaleh, 26, was among two people killed during Monday's protests staged by supporters of opposition leaders Mir Hossein Mousavi and Mehdi Karroubi. Some Iranian MPs have called for the two leaders to be tried and executed. The protests come amid a wave of political unrest in the west Asia and North Africa.
