Masked attackers were seen climbing over a first-floor railing on the building and trying to throw furniture from an office. A blaze broke out along the mission's front facade.
The neighboring Croatian Embassy also was attacked by the same group of protesters.
Riot police intervened, firing tear gas and driving a number of armored jeeps down the street to clear the crowd.

Zlender, based in Slovenia, just told me that they found a burnt body inside the US Embassy; apparently it's one of the protestors.
