"Students" attack British embassy in Tehran
The Scotsman forgot the sneer quotes, so I stuck 'em back in.
Several hundred students threw stones and firebombs at the British embassy in Tehran yesterday in protest at the bombing of a Shiite shrine in Iraq. A number of windows were broken in the embassy and firebombs went off outside its walls during the two-hour protest. Eventually, Iranian police wielding sticks dispersed the demonstrators.

Nearly 1,000 students had gathered outside the embassy and held a peaceful protest, chanting "Death to America" and "Death to Britain". They blamed the two countries for Wednesday's bombing of the shrine in the Iraqi town of Samarra. "We hold the occupiers of Iraq responsible," one banner read. They also held signs denouncing caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad that were printed in European papers. The larger demonstration ended without incident, but several hours later, around 400 students returned and attacked the building.
