Police accused of idleness during separatist attack
Montreal police faced criticism as about 500 youths gathered outside Jean Talon Station and some 76 believed Quebec separatists damaged four display cars of the Confederation train. Assistant manager Ray Harris blasted the security, saying police did little despite warnings before the protest. Six suspects were detained for questions as demonstrators toppled a wooden guard rail and damaged lights while some officers were injured. The train, travelling over 14,000 miles since Jan 9, remained open to the public until 11 p.m. EDT and was to reopen today.
