Police helicopters scanned from the skies for trouble spots while several thousand officers patrolled the ground, with authorities intent on avoiding the violence that plagued previous international meetings in Italy. Anti-globalisation protesters were planning a march near the summit site in the southern neighbourhood of EUR, while unions organised a demonstration in central Rome. But before these marches had started, a few hundred protesters trashed an employment agency in a neighbourhood near the summit in EUR, said a worker at the mechanic's shop next door. Police detained about 25 demonstrators. At the summit site, police cordoned off the area and frogmen had combed an artificial lake in EUR for possible explosives. Dozens of closed-circuit cameras monitored the area, news reports said, while police snipers kept watch from nearby buildings.
