Activists from the pacifist Basque party "Abertzaleen Batasuna" wave flares as they occupy a house belonging to the chief U.S. colonial administrator for Iraq, L. Paul Bremer. The brief protest took place in Saint Jean de Luz, southwestern France, on Thursday March 18, 2004, just hours before the international day of protest against the illegal U.S. war on Iraq. The activists stayed only for a few minutes and no incident or damage was reported. Their banner reads "Saturday March 20, No to war!" (AP Photo/Bob Edme)
