  • Story Text: Anti-war protesters have attacked a bus outside a
    McDonalds restaurant in Hamburg.


    Police in the northern German city Hamburg said the
    double-decker restaurant bus was attacked on Thursday (April
    10, 2003) just after 3AM (1GMT) as it was parked outside the
    fast-food restaurant, often used for children's birthday
    parties.

    When the fire department arrived on the scene, the bus and
    part of the McDonald's playground next to the parking lot were
    on fire.

    At the scene police officers also found flyers from a
    left-wing extremist group which has been known to participate
    in anti-war demonstrations, with the title: "Solidarity in the
    opposition against imperialism and zionism."
    No one was injured but the bus was completely burnt out
    and police say the investigation is continuing.
