*Ø* Blogmanac | Thousands march in Europe, Mideast against Iraq war
"Tens of thousands of people demonstrated without incident across Europe and the Middle East against the US-led occupation of Iraq and to voice support for the Palestinians.
"The largest rally took place in London, where police estimated 20,000 demonstrators, although organisers put the tally at five times higher.
"Demonstrations, attracting leading politicians, also took place in France, Belgium, Austria, Greece, Poland, Turkey and Lebanon, although turnout paled compared to the massive rallies earlier this year ahead of the Iraq conflict."
