AP: Bush protesters, police clash in Mexico City (Near US Embassy)


Bush protesters, police clash in Mexico

By PETER ORSI, Associated Press Writer Wed Mar 14, 12:06 AM ET

MEXICO CITY - Hundreds of demonstrators marched to the U.S. Embassy in Mexico City on Tuesday, attacking riot police with concrete blocks, metal bars and firecrackers and tearing down barricades to protest the visit of President Bush.

Mexican police responded by unleashing tear gas and pepper spray, throwing rocks and clubbing demonstrators with batons.

Several protesters were arrested or injured, one with blood pouring from his head.

The demonstrators burned U.S. flags and waved banners with slogans against the U.S. president, such as one which said: "Bush you are not welcome in Mexico. Go to Hell."
