15,000 clash with police in German nuclear blockade
http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2008/11/10/2414747.htm
Excerpt:
Police wielding truncheons beat back around 15,000 environmentalists trying to block a train carrying highly radioactive nuclear waste from western France to a dump in Germany, authorities said.
In the largest and most violent anti-nuclear protests since 2001 in Germany, activists set fire to barricades on the tracks in the north of the country, which police extinguished with water cannon.
Several protesters and police were injured in the confrontation, police said, without giving any numbers of victims.
Railroad crews scrambled to repair the damage overnight to allow the shipment of the 23 tonnes of treated, but still extremely toxic, nuclear waste to continue on to the Gorleben disposal centre.
