Thousands protest in Oslo after Obama accepts Nobel

---

OSLO, Dec 11 (AFP): Thousands marched in Oslo late Thursday after US President Barack Obama accepted the Nobel Peace Prize with a speech justifying war, urging him to live up to the accolade.
More than 6,000 people marched in a peaceful, torchlight procession aimed at denouncing nuclear weapons and which ended up outside Obama's hotel in the Norwegian capital, police and organisers said.
Some of the demonstrators carried banners reading "No to Nuclear Weapons" or bearing peace symbols.
Another 3,000 protesters took part in a demonstration organised by the Norwegian Peace Initiative, calling for an end to the war in Afghanistan, controlled arms trade, a halt to nuclear weapons and the end of Israeli settlements.
