ULAN BATOR (Reuters) - Troops pulled back from the streets of the Mongolian capital on Saturday and political leaders called for calm as authorities lifted emergency rule declared this week after rioting over alleged election fraud.

There was no sign of the tension that gripped the capital, Ulan Bator, when stone-throwing mobs set the ruling party's headquarters on fire in a night of violence on Tuesday that killed five people and prompted the president to declare emergency rule for the first time in Mongolia's history.
