BBC. 16 March 2002. Running battles conclude EU summit. BARCELONA -- Police in Barcelona have fired tear gas and rubber bullets during running skirmishes with protesters marching in response to the EU economic summit, which ended on Saturday. The trouble - which left 18 injured, including seven policemen - came towards the end of a march which for the most part was noisy but peaceful. The BBC's Malcolm Brabant says it is not clear how the clashes began, but the vast majority of the marchers, from anti-globalisation campaigners to Basque nationalists, were not involved. The demonstrators - who had been marching from Placa de Catalunya to the harbour front - were protesting against everything from the Euro and free-market globalisation to Israeli violence. Police moved in as young militants, some hooded or wearing masks, set fire to rubbish cans and threw stones bottles and flares. Police said some banks and storefronts were wrecked and there were 38 arrests. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
