No arrest  numbers were available late Saturday. Police said hundreds of anarchists in Rome moved in where peaceful  demonstrators had gathered as part of the global Occupy movement. The  anarchists -- some wearing ski masks and belonging to a group termed  "Black Bloc" -- torched cars, broke windows and clashed with police. "It's been completely hijacked by these violent factions, and the  police are nervous, and the situation is very tense," Barbie Nadeau, a  Newsweek correspondent, told CNN. "I myself saw at least -- I would say  -- a dozen people who probably needed some hospitalization or some care  -- some stitches certainly." Two police officers were seriously injured and two young men lost  parts of their hands in explosions when protesters torched cars, she  said. In London, protester Peter Vaughn, reflecting the mood of many in the  crowd there, said people criticized financial institutions that have  "gambled away our money." "We're giving people a real voice against a government that just ignored us," he said.<a href="http://edition.cnn.com/2011/10/15/world/occupy-goes-global/index.html?hpt=wo_t2" target="_blank">http://edition.cnn.com/2011/10/15/world/occupy-goes-global/index.html?hpt=wo_t2</a></blockquote>
