Four arrested in protest against Caterpillar

Associated Press
March 17th, 2006

- Four people arrested during a protest outside Caterpillar Incorporated's world headquarters in Peoria have all been released on their own recognizance. Peoria police say the four arrested for disorderly conduct yesterday afternoon were among about three dozen people who were protesting Caterpillar's sale of armored bulldozers to Israel. Three of them were from Missouri and one was from Chicago.

The protesters complain that Caterpillar bulldozers sold to the Israeli military have been used to knock down houses along the Gaza Strip. Yesterday was the third anniversary of the death of Rachel Corrie, a 23-year-old American who was killed when she stood in front of a bulldozer being driven by an Israeli soldier to stop him from demolishing a house.
