About 500 anti-Iraq war protesters who tried to push their way to the U.S. Embassy in the Philippine capital briefly scuffled with riot police.

After some pushing and shoving, the demonstrators hurled stones at the security personnel, who responded with water cannons as the protesters locked arms and stood their ground.
