GREECE - Easter rocket ban on Greek island leads to protest



Some residents on the Greek island of Chios are up in arms over the banning of rocket firing on the eve of Orthodox Easter. Villagers from two rival parishes compete to see who can hit the other's church the most times. 
But this year the centuries-old 'rouketopolemos', as it's known, has been forbidden by the authorities after complaints by some people living near the churches, whose homes are often damaged by the rockets.
