Sofia - Incensed taxi drivers yesterday tried to storm the Bulgarian parliament and the opposition called on the government to resign after the body of a kidnapped three year old boy was found in a lake.

Peter Terziyski was grabbed on his way to a playground with his mother early yesterday and driven off in a car without registration plates. The child's father, a taxi driver, immediately called on colleagues throughout Sofia to help search for the child, but without success. His body was later found drowned in a lake.

The enraged taxi drivers then blocked off parliament for six hours, causing enormous traffic jams throughout the city centre, the interior ministry said.
