Police step in at Bin Laden protest outside US embassy

[cali]

Police have stepped in to separate Osama Bin Laden supporters and members of the English Defence League outside the US embassy in central London.

Supporters held a "funeral service" for Bin Laden after his killing by US special forces in Pakistan on Monday.

EDL members chanted "USA, USA" as the Bin Laden group knelt to pray for the dead leader of al-Qaeda.

Police intervened after threats of violence from both sides, although no arrests have been reported.

At one point an EDL member was reported to have slipped through police lines to reveal an effigy of Bin Laden.

Angry protesters taunted each other with chants of "USA, burn in hell" and "Obama, burn in hell".

1. Coppers need to round them up and ship them off to the ME if they don't like London..

2. His supporters are, in reality, traitors and should be taken as prisoners of war.

They are supporting the enemy of the UK during war time. Excuse me? That's treason. It only makes sense that they should be taken prisoner. What is the matter with the UK allowing the enemy to roam free on the battle field?

3. Wow.

For me, as long as they're saying it with words instead of bombs, leave them alone. But hey, that's just my opinion...
