An activist waves a bunch of keys during a rally to protest a plan to build a U.S. missile defence shield in Czech Republic, at Prague's Hradcanske Square July 8, 2008. The United States and the Czech Republic signed a treaty on Tuesday allowing Washington to build part of a missile defence shield in the central European state despite opposition from its former Cold War master Russia. The deal to create a radar station southwest of Prague was marred by a failure to seal a corresponding pact with Poland, where Washington wants to put 10 interceptor rockets that would be guided by the Czech site.
