PHNOM PENH (Reuters) - Police fired teargas and water cannons to disperse hundreds of demonstrators who had rallied in Cambodia's capital on Sunday to push for an independent investigation into a July election they say was fixed to favor the ruling party.
Protesters threw rocks at police who fired at least 10 teargas canisters near Phnom Penh's Royal Palace, where witnesses and a Reuters journalist said supporters of Cambodia's main opposition party had tried to removed razor wire barricades.
The clash came amid tension heightened by the discovery of a bomb and some grenades around the city on Friday and risk escalating a six-week standoff that has become one of the biggest tests of Prime Minister Hun Sen's three decades in power.

His Cambodian People's Party (CPP) won the election with 68 seats to the Cambodia National Rescue Party's 55, a greatly reduced majority that signals dissatisfaction with his rule despite rapid economic growth in a country that for decades was seen as a failed state.
But the Cambodia National Rescue Party (CNRP) and its supporters insist they won the July 28 vote and on Sunday they held their second mass rally in eight days to demand an independent investigation into their complaints of vote fraud.

The government has refused to allow that.
"Our vote is our life," CNRP's deputy president, Kem Sokha, told about 20,000 supporters at Freedom Park, where the protest took place.
"They stole our votes, it's like stealing our lives."
REFUSING TO GIVE UP
The clashes late in the afternoon left several people with minor wounds but raised tension to a new level. Police threatened legal action and put razor-wire fences and fire trucks across several roads around the capital in a failed bid to stop demonstrators from marching to the rally.
Talks between the two parties have gone nowhere and a meeting on Saturday at the Royal Palace between King Norodom Sihamoni, Hun Sen and CNRP leader Sam Rainsy resulted in no breakthrough.
The CNRP and CPP were scheduled to resume talks on Monday even though the opposition has vowed to hold protests on both Monday and Tuesday.

The CNRP is refusing to give up until the government agrees to let outsiders conduct an investigation, but the opposition is running out of options.
It plans to try to paralyze the legislature by boycotting parliament when it holds its first session on September 23, arguing that it was cheated out of 2.3 million votes to keep Hun Sen and his party in office for another five years.
