LA PAZ (Reuters) - The regional Supreme Electoral Court building in Bolivia's biggest city was burned down on Tuesday night during a protest against President Evo Morales' bid to seek a fourth term.

The government blamed opposition parties for the attack on the court in Santa Cruz. Opposition groups said it had been razed by thugs that had infiltrated the protests.
