BERLIN — Several thousand demonstrators formed a
human chain along the perimeter of a U.S. Air Force Base in southwest
Germany on Saturday in protest against drone operations by the United
States.
The demonstration was organized by the alliance
"Stop Ramstein - No Drone War", which says the Ramstein base transmits
information between operators in the United States and unmanned drone
aircraft in places such as Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Yemen and Syria.

Police estimated 3-4,000 people had formed the
chain close to the base, which serves as the headquarters for the U.S.
Air Forces in Europe. Organizers spoke of 5-7,000 people. No comment was
available on Saturday from officials at Ramstein. MORE
