Paper bomb sets store on fire in Milan

(ANSA) - Milan, May 1 - A large column of smoke on Friday could be seen over a building in downtown Milan, probably caused by a paper bomb thrown by protestors against a store on the ground floor.
    Meanwhile the central Largo D'Ancona, between Corso Magenta and Via Carducci, was isolated after protesters set cars on fire and formed a barricade with garbage bins.
    Police were able to disperse part of the protesters dressed in the fashion of Black-Block anti-globalization demonstrators while others were continuing to throw objects including bottles and stones against the officers.
    Two plain-clothes officers were also reported to have blocked a demonstrator dressed in black, his face covered, and to have dragged him amid anti-riot police.
    Police officers are talking with members of the No Expo march as it was clear different groups of demonstrators were in disagreement.
