Protesters clash with police ahead of G7 summit in Bavaria

By Paul Carrel and Michelle Martin GARMISCH-PARTENKIRCHEN, Germany (Reuters) – Protesters clashed with police in the German resort town of Garmisch-Partenkirchen on Saturday as thousands demonstrated against a meeting of Group of Seven (G7) leaders that starts on Sunday at a nearby luxury hotel. Scuffles first broke out as the demonstrators, some throwing bottles, faced off with riot police in a narrow lane of quaint Alpine houses on the edge of the town. Occasional clashes followed as the demonstrators snaked their way back through the town.
