-Caveat Lector- National Post, Canada: Europe is about to experience one of its first medieval battles in 600 years. Scholars of medieval weaponry are anxiously anticipating this week's G8 summit in Genoa, as the expected confrontation between anti-globalization protesters and police will take the form of a medieval siege, and will utilize a picturesque mode of warfare that hasn't been witnessed for centuries. Demonstrators are assembling wooden siege carts, giant catapults to launch rotten fish and other projectiles at authorities, and battering rams to infiltrate security barriers in one of Europe's great medieval port . . . While there are laws against handguns and carrying concealed weapons such as knives, modern legal codes have no specific provisions outlawing catapults or battering rams. http://www.cnn.com/2001/WORLD/europe/07/17/genoa.security/index.html <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/">www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
