War On Terror board game seized by police.

A War On Terror board game designed in Cambridge has been seized by 
police who claim the balaclava in the set could be used in a criminal act.

The satirical board game was confiscated along with knives, chisels and 
bolt cutters, from climate protesters during a series of raids near 
Kingsnorth power station, in Kent, last week.

The game's creators, Andrew Sheerin and Andy Tompkins, web designers 
from Cambridge, have expressed total shock at the inclusion of their toy 
among "criminal" items.

Andrew, 32, said: "I saw pictures of the board game in papers and was 
absolutely baffled.

"Surely no member of the public is going to believe that a board game 
could be used as a weapon?"

War on Terror, similar to games like Risk, revolves around creating 
empires that compete and wage war.

But there is a twist - players can poke fun at the rhetoric of world 
leaders like George Bush and Tony Blair.
