PROTESTERS BEATEN BACK.(A SECTION)

ISLAMABAD, PAKISTAN -- More than 2,000 religious students demanding the resignation of Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto attempted to storm the Parliament building Monday before being fought off by police and soldiers.

Riot police fired tear gas at the crowd and beat back protesters with sticks and clubs.

The students, supporters of the right-wing Party of Islam, pelted police with rocks and bricks. Some waved the Koran, the Muslim holy book, and shouted "God is Great."
