Serbs torch US embassy in Belgrade

Irate Serbs torch the United States embassy in Belgrade in a massive demonstration against the US support for Kosovo's independence.
The US embassy was vacant at the time of the attack. The ground floor and a side building were burning, with smoke billowing out as anti-riot police backed up by armored vehicles fought the young men with tear gas.
The fire lasted more 50 minutes before fire fighters could put it out. There was no immediate report of casualties.
"As long as we live, Kosovo is Serbia," Prime Minister Vojislav Kostunica told the crowd from a stage in front of the old Yugoslav parliament building in Belgrade on Thursday.
Police estimated 150,000 people packed the square, with columns of at least 10,000 more demonstrators filling up nearby boulevards. Eye witnesses have also reported big crowds elsewhere in the city.
