AIPAC Conference on Lockdown, Delegates Instructed to Remain Indoors as Anti-Israel Protesters Chant, Wave Palestinian Flags Outside | Algemeiner.com
This year’s annual American Israel Public Affairs (AIPAC) policy conference kicked off amid tight security on Sunday, with delegates instructed to remain indoors and bomb-sniffing dogs scouring the premises.
The two Washington, DC venues at which the 2016 conference is being held – the Walter E. Washington Convention Center and the Verizon Building – were both basically on lockdown, as delegates awaited Sunday’s speech by US Vice President Joe Biden and Monday’s by Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton, and due to anti-Israel protests outside.
