Police will shoot, Salzburg summit protesters warned
By Michael Leidig in Vienna

AUSTRIA has given police permission to shoot protesters if violence gets out of hand at an economic summit in Salzburg this weekend.

Major Rudolf Gollia, a senior adviser to the Interior Minister, said: "We don't want a repeat of what happened in Gothenburg but we will use guns if we have to." Three demonstrators were shot and wounded by police in the Swedish city during anti-capitalist protests at the European Union summit this month.
