A French anti-nuclear protester was killed Sunday in eastern France when his leg was severed by a train carrying radioactive waste to Germany, officials said. Paramedics quickly cared for protester Sebastien Briat, 21, after the incident near the town of Avricourt, but he died on way to a nearby hospital, officials said. He had been surprised by the train while trying to chain himself to the tracks as part of a protest. At least one other demonstrator was injured, officials said. The death prompted an outpouring of sympathy in Germany, where an anti-nuclear group abandoned calls for similar protests along the train route and hundreds of people gathered to mourn the accident.Full Story
