Protestors dressed as clowns confront German riot police during clashes at an anti-G8 demonstration in Rostock June 2, 2007. Protesters threw stones and bottles and attacked police officers with sticks in the German port of Rostock on Saturday after a largely peaceful demonstration against next week's Group of Eight summit. A group of around 500 demonstrators set upon police near the harbour after a series of marches through the city in which police said 25,000 people took part. [Reuters]
