Masked protesters from a left-wing picket movement block the traffic as they march to Plaza de Mayo in Buenos Aires to repudiate U.S.Treasury Secretary Paul O' Neill's visit to Argentina, August 7, 2002. O'Neill arrived for a 30-hour official visit to Argentina whose government is desperately trying to squeeze financial help out of the International Monetary Fund in which the United States is the largest shareholder and therefore an influential controller of the purse strings.
