LISTEN:Protest at University of Minnesota followed by protest at Coleman office
00:00--:--

A group of 20 anti-war protesters have staged a so-called "die-in" at the Twin Cities office of U.S. Senator Norm Coleman. The office closed at 5 o'clock and the protesters say expect to be arrested on a trespassing charge. Earlier the St.paul police department closed the building to visitors after the protest threatened to disrupt business. That protest followed an anti-war rally at the University of Minnesota that drew between 500 and a 1000 students -- not all of them against the war with Iraq. Minnesota Public Radio's Mary Losure reports.
