From USA Today:
Riot police clashed with about 200 protesters at the U.S. Consulate in Sydney on
Saturday as demonstrations against an anti-Islam film produced in the United
States spread to Australia.
Ten Network television news showed a policeman knocked
unconscious as the mostly male crowd hurled bottles and other missiles. Many of
the protesters were wearing Muslim dress.
Police used pepper spray against the protesters, who
chanted "Obama, Obama, we love Osama" and waved placards saying "Behead all
those who insult the Prophet."
A total of six police officers were injured, including two
who were taken to a hospital. Two protesters were treated for police dog bites
and 17 others for the effects of pepper spray, police said in a statement. There
were no details of their condition.
Eight people were arrested on charges including assaulting
police and resisting arrest.
Police said they were unsure who organized the protest.
"There was little or no organization or control of what
they were doing, and their actions were disgraceful," police Superintendent Mark
Walton said in a statement...
Just a hunch here, but I think the "organizers" may have been jihadis. As long as they're so disorganized, though, I'm sure there's nothing to worry about.
