BUSAN, South Korea (AFP) - The huge security operation thrown up around an Asia-Pacific summit faced its first test -- from a handful of housewives angry at US President George W. Bush.
Four middle-aged women, who unfurled banners and shouted slogans, were hauled away by some of the 300 riot police deployed in front of the Westin Chosun Hotel, following Bush's arrival earlier Wednesday.
"Bush get out of South Korea," said one of the half-dozen women who turned up to protest outside the hotel.
South Korean security forces have clamped a ring of steel around the southern city of Busan after anti-globalization activists and farmers vowed to rally 100,000 people against the
APEC summit on Friday.
