A rainy, gloomy day just before the start of spring was the setting Wednesday for dozens of anti-war protesters around the state who marked the fifth anniversary of the war in Iraq with pickets and vigils.

"We didn't want to have one single event in the state, so we had several of them around the state, and we'll continue this weekend," said John Murphy, a leader of Connecticut Opposes the War, a group he said has 50 member organizations.
