POLAND: Kaczynski Supporters Clash With Police Over Cross In Warsaw.

AP/       Protesters, shouting "Defend the cross," fought with police and prevented officials from moving a cross erected outside Warsaw's presidential palace in memory of the late President Lech Kaczynski. The cross has become a shrine for  Kaczynski supporters after his tragic 10 April death in a plane crash in Russia. The government of President-elect Bronislaw Komorowski says the makeshift symbol should not remain in front of a state building and wants to move it to the nearby St. Anne's Church.
