Anti-war protest turns violent

A PROTEST against war in Iraq turned violent yesterday in Brussels when dozens of youths clashed with police and attacked American-owned businesses.

Masked, stone-throwing youths broke windows at a McDonald’s fast food restaurant and a Marriot hotel, as well as an employment agency.

Up to a 100 youths, many of Arab origin, broke away from the main body of anti-war protesters who were marching through the city centre.
