Protesters burn cars in Rome as 'Occupy' protests spread worldwide


Demonstrators in Rome set fire to two cars and broke shop windows during a protest in the Italian capital, as activists organised a series of rallies in 82 countries.



Inspired by the Occupy Wall St movement and Spain's "Indignants", demonstrators from Asia to Europe took to the streets.


In Rome the violence was said to be caused by hooded militants known as "black blocks," who have infiltrated demonstrations in the past. There were no immediate reports of injuries.


Television images showed one of the cars in flames and spewing thick black smoke over the route of the demonstration, which was otherwise peaceful.


Police were out in force in Rome as some 100,000 protesters were expected a day after Premier Silvio Berlusconi barely survived a confidence vote.
