Austalia PM's car attacked - 2006/07/30 07:24
Did this get reported Cilla?
<<< CANBERRA, July 29 (Xinhua) -- A group of protestors calling for peace in Middle East kicked, punched and fired projectiles at Australian Prime Minister John Howard's car in Perth, Western Australian, Saturday.
Two were arrested after 200 protestors, many waving Lebanese and Palestinian flags, tried to block Howard's car and clashed violently with police as the prime minister left a hotel, according to the Australian Broadcasting Corporation radio.
At a conference held at the hotel, Howard described Hezbollah, which is fighting Israel in southern Lebanon, as "a terrorist organization."
Protest organizer Mar Bucknell criticized Israel for bombing Lebanon's infrastructure, saying "These last two weeks have seen an all out assault on civil society in Lebanon, which seems to me to have nothing to do with Hezbollah." >>>
btw Reuters now reporting that Israel has killed 35 people including 21 children in attack on a building in Qana. Sky has now picked up the story too -
