Iraq war protesters arrested at IRS

By SARAH KARUSH, Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON - Police have arrested about a dozen people who crossed a barricade at the entrance of the Internal Revenue Service building in Washington at the start of protests marking the fifth anniversary of the Iraq war.
Anti-war protests and vigils are planned across the country.
Dozens of people gathered at the IRS, chanting "This is a Crime Scene" and "You're arresting the wrong people." A crowd marched around the IRS before gathering at the entrance.
Protesters are blocking the main entrance of the building. But no federal workers appear to be using that entrance to go inside the IRS.
