war is over - for now !
This happened somewhen between mid-day and afternoon:
A few helicopters landed on a field near Splietau, police jumped out, ran
to the tractor blockade and destroyed about 40-60 tyres (each worth about 400
pounds), using knifes, etc... Then ran back to their helicopters followed by
some really angry farmers, and took off. This police-action has been filmed by
a TV-crew !!!
