Citizens' group in Tokyo protests against attack on Iraq

A group of citizens enter the third day of a relay hunger strike on Dec. 19 in front of the U.S. Embassy in Tokyo to protest against air strikes on Iraq by the United States and Britain. Buddhist monks in yellow robes stood nearby and continuously beat their drums to urge an end to the air strikes. ''We do not mean to support Iraqi President Saddam Hussein who has tormented the Iraqi people, but children always suffer first in the bombings,'' said one of the protesters.
