Ex-soldiers protest in Guatemala to get a war-time bonus for service in the civil war

A firefighter outside the Congress building in Guatemala City douses a vehicle set on fire by a group of veterans demanding compensation for their service in the country

They are demanding about $16,000 for serving in the 1960-1996 war. Demonstrators burst onto the grounds of the country's congress building Tuesday and set several vehicles on fire.
