Iraqi population to push for indictment.

Word just coming to me of a group set to go and meet colin powell in Belgium (NATO) today. Support gaining strength for a group (name unknown) of Iraqi people residing in Belgium set to launch an intense effort to indict him for war crimes while on Belgian soil. Speculation is (reliable but infrequent source) that Powell appeared nervous about such action today. This weekend in Brussells there will be a BBQ outside the US embassy (Saturday) and a Reclaim The Streets party Sunday. Appologies for lack of further information. If anyone has more contact with people on the ground there please post. Unlikely that Powell will get arrested, but this could yet be a good advertisement of his crimes, the ill-will directed at him and the determination of people to bring him to justice.

The wife of missing french journalist and travelling companion of ITN news reporter Terry loyd, confronted Powell about her husbands disappearance. The french journalist is missing since being caught along with Terry loyd in a friendly fire incident. Coalition forces mistook the convoy of news reporters for iraqi soldiers and opened fire.
