Thu Feb 21, 2008 12:35pm EST

BELGRADE, Feb 21 (Reuters) - More than 300 protesters attacked the U.S. embassy in Belgrade with sticks and metal bars on Thursday, trying to break down windows and doors in protest against independence for Kosovo.

Police stood by as the crowd of mostly young men smashed two guard boxes in front of the city-centre building and pounded on the boarded-up doors and windows, trying to force their way in. The embassy was also attacked earlier in the week.
