Military convoys face Italian anti-war blockade. 24/2/2003. ABC News Online [This is the print version of story http://www.abc.net.au/news/newsitems/s790894.htm] Monday, February 24, 2003. Posted: 01:11:55 (AEDT) Military convoys face Italian anti-war blockade Anti-war protesters are vowing to block all movement of US arms by rail between American bases in Italy, dubbing the convoys "trains of death". Demonstrators have squatted on railway tracks and organisers are planning a full-scale assault on similar convoys this week. Italy's Defence Ministry has given the US clearance to use military bases and ports in line with NATO commitments. Local polls show 70 per cent of Italians oppose war even if sanctioned by the United Nations. The Italian labour union representing almost 90 per cent of dock workers says it will boycott the loading and unloading of all shipments of US arms in and out of Italian ports. © ABC 2003 | privacy Forwarded for your information.
