Robertson harangued by protesters

A minor incident occurred during a news conference concluding the two-day NATO summit. Two men stood up at the end of the conference, shouting in Russian "NATO is worse than the Gestapo". One of the men took his jacket off to show a Nazi armband and tomatoes were thrown towards the alliance secretary-general George Robertson, who was surrounded by three bodyguards. Security officials hauled the protesters out of the room, took their passports and led them away.
