SIERRA VISTA, Ariz. (AP) - Five people were arrested Sunday during a protest against Fort Huachuca in southern Arizona, Those arrested Sunday were indented as the Rev. Jerome Alexander Zawada, a Roman Catholic priest from Tucson, John Edward Heid of Tucson, E. Robert Carney Jr., of Tucson, and Mariah D. Klusmire of Albuquerque, N.M..

A fifth man arrested was not identified and was turned over to the FBI.

Protesters claim the fort teaches torture during its military interrogation courses.

Fort officials denied such training is done in any course taught on the post.

Protesters also accused the Army of training soldiers to operate unmanned aerial systems that kill innocent lives in Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan and other places.

Counterprotesters said those against the fort lack a sense of reality, patriotism and common sense.
