Riga - A young Latvian, opposed to military action against Afghanistan, tried to strike Britain's Prince Charles across the face with a bunch of flowers yesterday, but security guards stopped her in time.
Prince Charles, who is on a tour of Baltic states, approached a group of school children after laying a wreath at Latvia's Freedom Monument when a 16-year-old girl lurched at him and tried to swipe his face with a bunch of carnations.
