Another 1,000 students of a major Islamic boarding school took to the streets of Semarang city in Central Java to voice their opposition to the invasion, the official Antara news agency said.

In Makassar the students arrived by car, motorbike, truck and bus to hear about two hours of protest speeches in the central square. They dispersed peacefully, city police said.

In Jakarta some 200 people picketed the US embassy and later the United Nations. They called for the UN to bring President George Bush and allied leaders before a war crimes tribunal.

Indonesia, the world's largest Muslim-populated nation, has seen daily protests since the attacks began but almost all have been peaceful. The government has strongly criticised the war.
