London - Three demonstrators grappled with armed police on the doorstep of 10 Downing Street last night - seconds after they were led there by the MP, Mr George Galloway.
The three Middle Eastern looking men were wrestled to the ground as the Labour MP and another man, Mr Sabah Al-Mukhtar, a lawyer, were led away by a senior police officer.
Five protesters were arrested and five police officers slightly injured when a demonstration against US-British air strikes turned violent. Scuffles broke out when some of the 200 demonstrators tried to light a US flag outside the Ministry of Defence and opposite the entrance to Downing Street.
