Anti-war protesters raid London oil exchange


Anti-war protesters broke into London's International Petroleum Exchange on Monday and halted business at Europe's largest oil futures trading hub.

The trading floor was evacuated after the raid, but police arrived soon afterwards carrying chain cutters. Anti-war groups also staged dramatic "die-ins" elsewhere in Britain on Monday, smearing themselves with fake blood and pretending to be dead at military bases and outside government offices.
