Violence follows Mongolia election

Protesters alleging voting fraud clashed with Mongolian police Tuesday as election results indicated the ruling party is on course to win the majority it needs to pass a disputed law on sharing the country's natural wealth.

The protesters clashed with police outside the General Election Commission offices and the headquarters of the ruling Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party.

Additional police in riot gear were sent to the party's headquarters, where about 200 protesters threw stones at the police and the building.
