BUCHAREST, Romania (AP) - Romanian police say they are questioning 46 anti-NATO activists about scuffles that broke out before the start of a NATO summit in Bucharest.Police spokesman Christian Ciocan says 10 of the activists are German and the rest are Portuguese, Spanish, Czech and Romanian citizens.Ciocan says the activists attacked a guard and the director of a factory Wednesday because a truck carrying paint was not allowed to enter the rented facility. Officials say the demonstrators apparently wanted to use the paint to make protest banners.Ciocan has told The Associated Press that the activists are not being formally detained, but investigators want to identify them.There are unconfirmed media reports that at least one of the demonstrators was beaten during the scuffles.
