More clashes in Mexico over disappearance of 43 students (euronews)
IGUALA DE LA INDEPENDENCIA - Students and relatives of 43 missing aspiring teachers stormed a Mexican military base on Monday in the city where they vanished, prompting soldiers to repel them with tear gas.
The protesters traveled to Iguala, in the southern state of Guerrero, to demand to search the barracks because they believe the missing young men may have been hidden there.
When the soldiers refused to let them in, the group hijacked a soda company's truck and used it to break through a gate, but soldiers and police officers stopped them from going further than 20m.
Protesters threw empty beer bottles taken from another truck. Four people were slightly injured.
