Vigils to support Sheehan protest

Last Updated: Wednesday, 17 August 2005, 14:36 GMT 15:36 UK

More than 1,000 anti-war vigils are to take place around the United States in support of a bereaved mother protesting outside President Bush's Texas ranch.

Cindy Sheehan, 48, has become a focus for anti-war sentiment since her protest began in Crawford 10 days ago.

But the vigils come amid growing tension between dozens of activists and locals who object to the disruption.

Ms Sheehan's camp is moving to land nearer the ranch after an offer by one of Mr Bush's neighbours. She has vowed to stay put during the president's month-long holiday at his ranch until he agrees to meet her.



"Cindy Sheehan's protest has become a lightning rod for debate"
