Strasbourg, France - Twelve people were arrested after violent anti-NATO protests in the French city of Strasbourg on Thursday, one day before leaders from the
28-member alliance were due to meet there, a police spokesman said.
Demonstrators hurled rocks, broke windows and set trash bins on fire before police fired tear gas canisters and order was restored.
The demonstration turned violent after police prevented some 600 protesters from marching into downtown Strasbourg.
