French police detain 300 after anti-NATO protests

French police detained at least 300 anti-NATO demonstrators after violent clashes ahead of a two-day summit to mark the alliance's 65th anniversary.

 

A total of 107 people were still being held Friday morning, after riot police used tear gas and rubber bullets to force hundreds of demonstrators off the streets of Strasbourg late Thursday night back into a tent camp on the edge of the city. They can be held up to 48 hours before being formally charged. (AP)
