Several thousand protestors have demonstrated against US President George Bush's visit to Europe for the second straight day.


Riot-prepared police, backed by a helicopter overhead, prevented demonstrators on Monday from approaching the US embassy in Brussels.

But the protest remained peaceful.

"Bush killer" was among slogans chanted by the protestors, organised by the Stop Bush umbrella group which includes some 80 pacifist, human rights and environmental organisations.

Two queues of police clad in helmets and with shields and batons separated the demonstrators from the embassy compound, where the US president is staying during a two-day stop in Brussels.

The organisers said some 4000 to 5000 people took part, but police put the figure closer to 4000.



More demonstrations are planned
for Tuesday afternoon
