Italians map strategy protests aimed at stopping american military trains (tags)
Anti-war militants took advantage of a national train strike in Italy to pause to map out strategy Sunday. Demonstrators opposed to a possible war in Iraq tried Saturday to block trains moving U.S. military equipment across the country, protesting at several rail stations in northern Italy. A group of anti-war protesters stopped a train reportedly transporting U.S. military equipment in northern Italy on Friday night, a police official said.
