Thousands join anti-war marches in Spain

Tens of thousands of protesters denouncing the United States-led war in Iraq today marched to Spanish military bases used by the US to refuel planes and help care for wounded soldiers.

At least 25,000 people holding banners reading “No to War”, “Not in Our Name”, or simply “Peace”, marched to the edge of the Rota Naval and Air Base in southwest Spain amid tight security.
