Reuters | ABCNEWS.com Monday October 15 12:27 PM ET Portuguese, U.S. Troops Fight Over Bin Laden SaluteLISBON (Reuters) - U.S. soldiers attacked a Portuguese soldier who gave a mock salute to a television picture of Osama bin Laden (news - web sites) at the Lajes NATO (news - web sites) base in the Azores islands, state radio said Monday. RDP radio said the soldier raised his hand in jest when he saw a television broadcast in the base's American club showing bin Laden, whom the United States blames for the Sept. 11 attacks on New York and Washington which killed thousands. ``Several G.I.s jumped on the Portuguese soldier and beat him violently until other Portuguese soldiers appeared and a real pitched battle ensued,'' RDP said. ``American and Portuguese police were called and 30 were needed to end the fight, and even then they only restored order by drawing their weapons,'' the report added. Defense Ministry officials were not immediately available for comment on the incident. RDP said the Portuguese soldier who gave the joke salute was arrested. RDP said the brawl was the latest in a series of verbal and physical confrontations between troops stationed at Lajes, where tension has increased since September 11.
