  • Story Text: There was tight security outside NATO Headquarters in
    Brussels on Wednesday where protesters were waiting for U.S.

    President Bush on the second leg of his visit to Europe.



    The demonstrators representing environmentalist and
    disarmament groups gathered outside NATO in Brussels on
    Wednesday (June 13) hoping to voice their concerns to U.S.

    president George W. Bush. They were unlikely to get anywhere
    near the President however, as the Belgian police had taken
    strong security measures in the run-up to his arrival.

    The demonstrators included representatives from Greenpeace
    and Amnesty International along with various groups
    campaigning for disarmament.

    Greenpeace activist Michel Vandenbossche was one of the
    protesters disappointed with the policies being pursued by the
    Bush administration in Washington.

    "Basically to tell Mr Bush that we do not agree with two
    of his decisions, the Kyoto Protocol and the relaunch of the
    "Starwars"," he said.

    Bush meets NATO alliance heads of government in Brussels
    to discuss the controversial anti-ballistic missile defence
    system dubbed "Son of Starwars".
