Nothing like burning things down to convince everybody you’ve been wronged.

Several hundred protesters have attacked the US and other embassies in Serbia’s capital in anger at Western support for Kosovo’s independence. Protesters broke into the US compound and briefly set part of the embassy alight. Firemen later found an unidentified charred body inside.
The UK, Belgian, Croatian and Turkish missions were also attacked.

BTW…I think the charred body is expected to be a protester, not an embassy employee. The embassy was shut down this week, so no Americans were there.

From the article:

The body has not been identified, though US officials said all embassy staff of US nationality had been accounted for.
