Protesters throw stones, paint at nationalists

Stone-throwing protesters on Friday prevented a nationalist group from holding a news conference opening its "anti-Islamification" meeting on a boat in Cologne, Germany. It was not immediately clear if anyone was injured. The demonstrators had already targeted a previous venue where the Pro-Cologne rightist group had hoped to hold the news conference Friday for the starting the congress, which was to attract support from nationalist groups across Europe. The three-day nationalist meeting is to include plans for a big protest Saturday against the construction of a large mosque in the western German city.
