  • Story Text: More than a dozen people have been arrested in
    Amsterdam after a pro-Palestinian march by several thousand of
    people through the heart of the city began to turn violent.

    At least 15 people had been arrested after a crowd of
    protesters began hurling rocks at the some 300 police in riot
    gear who were on hand to maintain order.

    Thousands of demonstrators brandishing banners and
    shouting slogans marched through central Amsterdam on Saturday
    (April 13) to protest at the Israeli army's offensive against
    Palestinian towns in the West Bank.

    A Reuters reporter on the scene said there was a stand-off
    on Dam square in the centre of the popular tourist city
    between police and several hundred demonstrators, many
    wearing headscarves and waving Palestinian flags.
