1. Crowd of about 50 beats a foreign man to death in Durban, South Africa, amid wave of anti-immigrant protests

   South African police said a crowd of about 50 people beat to death a foreign man believed to be in his 30s or early 40s in Durban; his identity has not been released and the motive is under investigation. Anti-immigrant protests have spread across South Africa this year, some turning violent, and earlier this month shops and cars were set on fire in Durban and in Soweto near Johannesburg. Xenophobic attacks in 2008 killed more than 60 people.
