Heavy Security in
Mongolia After Riots
Security was tight in Mongolia's capital
Wednesday, one day after at least five people died in
rioting sparked by allegations of fraud in parliamentary
elections. President Nambaryn Enkhbayar declared a four-day
state of emergency after thousands of protesters clashed
with police on Tuesday while they mobbed the headquarters of
the ruling Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party and set it
aflame. The demonstrators also attacked the General Election
Commission, demanding that officials resign. |
