10 Arrested Blocking AIPAC Gala
-------------------------------



And here in New York, activists opposed to the US-backed Israeli assault
on Gaza disrupted a gala event last night put on by the lobby group
AIPAC. The demonstrators chained themselves together to block two
entrances at the Marriott Hotel. Police forced them apart by burning off
the chains with blowtorches. Ten people were arrested.
