MILWAUKEE - A group of Iraq War protesters vandalized the windows at the Army recruitment center on Oakland Avenue near the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee campus Monday night.

Milwaukee police took 21 people into custody, including three juveniles, ages 14, 15 and 16. Witnesses say they saw anywhere from 20 to 40 people, dressed in black, flee from the scene.

A Web site posting said that the act was a protest against the U.S. involvement in Iraq, in connection with the fourth anniversary of the war.

Torches made from chair legs, fireworks and black flags were strewn in front of the Army recruitment center. Windows were broken, but there didn't appear to be much damage to the inside of the building. One witness heard loud sounds and then saw a large group fleeing the scene.

"A group of kids were running down the road, about 20 kids or so, just screaming and wearing all black and faces covered, and they had crowbars and baseball bats," said Dan Riess.
