Argentine demonstrators bang pots and shout anti-government slogans
demanding the resignation of President Fernando de la Rua, in front of
the Casa Rosada government house, early December 20, 2001. The
Argentine government declared a state of siege to quell the nation's
worst civil unrest in a decade. Outbreaks of looting and riots have
left four people dead and hundreds injured. REUTERS/Enrique Marcarian
