Iraq War Brings Destruction To Split

Last night police arrested two individuals – Croatian citizens – for vandalising ancient monuments in the very heart of Split. They spray-painted couple of monuments with slogans praising Saddam Hussein and "People's Liberation Struggle of Iraq".

I could only speculate what led those two men to commit such act, but relatively swift police action is somewhat easier to explain. This occurred in the middle of tourist season and authorities don't like possibility of certain foreigners seeing such slogans and making wrong conclusions about their own security.
