Anti-NATO protesters burn cars in Canada (VIDEOS)

Multiple arrests were made as rioters ransacked storefronts ahead of the bloc’s annual summit in Montreal

At least three people have been arrested after anti-NATO and pro-Palestinian protesters rioted on the streets of Montreal, torching cars, vandalizing shopfronts, and clashing with police. The Francophone Canadian city hosts NATO’s annual summit this weekend.

A crowd of anti-NATO demonstrators assembled at a park in the center of the city on Friday afternoon, before converging with an anti-Israel demonstration held nearby, police told local media.

Although initially peaceful, police said that the protest turned violent after the anti-Israel contingent burned an effigy of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and began hurling flares and projectiles at riot officers.
