Rally calls for end to war

LONDON, NOV. 18. At least 10,000 demonstrators, including politicians and leaders of Britain's Muslim community, marched through central London today to demand an end to the war in Afghanistan, police said. But organisers of the protest, `Stop The War Coalition,' said 50,000 had turned out for the rally which began in Hyde Park and carried on to Trafalgar Square.

Muslims held prayers for peace at the Park while speakers told the rally that the apparent rout of the Taliban militia did not justify U.S. and British military action in Afghanistan.
