Mexico missing case: Attack on governing party offices

Mexican protesters have fought running battles with police and set fire to the ruling party's local offices in protest at the authorities' handling of the case of 43 missing student teachers.

About one thousand people marched in Guerrero state capital Chilpancingo, before unrest broke out.

The disappearances have sparked a month of violent street protests.

Local police, officials and drug gangs have all been implicated in the case, but no bodies have yet been found.

Municipal police officers had previously confessed to detaining the students and later handing them over to a local drug gang calling itself Guerreros Unidos or United Warriors.

Officials say gang members have confessed to killing the forty three students and burning their remains near the town of Iguala, where they went missing
