Man Admits Tossing Condoms at Tony Blair
LONDON - An activist was fined more than $1,000 on Wednesday after he pleaded guilty to throwing condoms filled with purple corn starch at Tony Blair (news - web sites) as the prime minister spoke in the House of Commons. Another man denied the same charge.

Guy Harrison, 36, acknowledged in a hearing at Bow Street Magistrates' Court that he had tossed the powder at Blair during the prime minister's weekly question session on May 19. He was fined $1,080 plus $99 in court costs.

The powder turned out to be harmless, but it forced an evacuation of the House of Commons and raised fears about security problems.

The house recently put up a bulletproof, transparent screen to protect legislators from possible attacks from the public gallery.
