MEXICO CITY (AP) Protesters commandeered a pickup truck Wednesday and used it to ram down the wooden doors of Mexico Citys National Palace. They battered down the doors and entered the colonial-era palace, where the president lives and hold his daily press briefings, before they were driven off by security agents.

The demonstration, like many others over the years, was called to protest the abduction and murder of 43 students a decade ago. President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador called the protest a provocation, and claimed the demonstrators had sledgehammers and blowtorches.
