Fistfighting MPs clash in S. Korea

17 December, 2007, 11:49

For the second time in a week, a fight has broken out in South Korea's National Assembly. The chaos began when hundreds of conservative party members clashed with rivals from the pro-government UNDP party.

One conservative party member sprayed a fire extinguisher into the crowd.

Police were unable to say immediately how many people had been injured.

Last week, rival law-makers came to blows when conservative members tried to stop a bill reopening investigations into party corruption.
