Dutch Police nab arsonists seeking Bush's nuke suitcase
MAASTRICHT, Netherlands (Reuters) - Dutch police arrested six
activists on Sunday who said they wanted to enter President Bush's
Netherlands hotel and look for the suitcase which allows him to
activate nuclear weapons.
The activists, carrying binoculars and wearing signs that identified
them as "citizen's inspectors," mimicking the International Atomic
Energy Agency's weapons inspectors, were caught by Dutch soldiers as
they approached Bush's

They tried to get into President Bush's hotel in Maastricht
yesterday, claiming they wanted to inspect the nuclear football.
"We heard Bush carries a nuclear suitcase and can push the red button
at any time to set off atomic weapons. We find this extremely
shocking," said a spokesman for the activist group.
The activists, carrying binoculars and wearing signs that identified
them as "citizen's inspectors," mimicking the International Atomic
Energy Agency's weapons inspectors, were caught by Dutch soldiers as
they approached Bush's hotel.
In a separate incident, an amateur photographer seriously hurt
himself on Saturday by falling onto a spiked fence as he tried to
photograph the tight security arrangements around the hotel, police
said.
