Protesters torch bank, break into stores

November 4, 2005

BY ASSOCIATED PRESS

MAR DEL PLATA, Argentina-- More than 1,000 rampaging anti-American protesters set a bank ablaze Friday as the Summit of the Americas opened, shattering shopfront windows with wooden clubs and throwing rocks.

Scores of riot police with plastic shields responded with tear gas.

The violence capped a day of protests by more than 10,000 demonstrators who marched through the streets and shouted slogans against President Bush.
