Nine arrests at antiwar protest in St. Paul
 
ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) - Nine people have been arrested during an anti-war 
march outside the site of this week's Republican National Convention in 
St. Paul, Minnesota.

Eight were taken away in handcuffs. The ninth, a 78-year-old Roman 
Catholic nun, was not cuffed.

All are charged with trespass for crossing a security fence into a 
restricted area near the Xcel Energy Center, the convention hall.

Sunday's protest drew about 250 people. And organizers had announced ahead 
of time that some of them would be moving into the restricted area. All 
but 1 of the nine, who didn't have identification, were quickly released.

Some three-dozen marchers wore orange jumpsuits and black hoods alongside 
banners, reading, "Torture Destroys Us All."
