US: Hollywood star and activist Jane Fonda is planning to take a bus tour across America next year to call for an end to US military operations in Iraq.

"I've decided I'm coming out," she told a cheering audience in New Mexico at a function to promote her autobiography, explaining that Iraq veterans had encouraged her to break her silence.

"I have not taken a stand on any war since Vietnam," she added. "I carry a lot of baggage from that." Ms Fonda said her anti-war tour would use a bus that runs on vegetable oil.
