Blair may cancel London appearance over protests

None

Tony Blair said Monday that he might cancel a planned public appearance in London to promote his new memoir because of potential disruption from protesters.

 

The former British prime minister told ITV television that a bookstore signing session could cause unnecessary "hassle and cost" for police. Protesters demonstrating against Blair's decision to join the 2003 US-led invasion of Iraq hurled shoes and eggs at him in Dublin on Saturday. (AP)
