Tens of thousands of Iraqi Shi’ites marched in Baghdad today to protest the U.S. presence in their country and call for a speedy trial of ousted President Saddam Hussein…
“No to the occupiers,” they chanted. “Yes to Iraq.”
“We want a stable Iraq, and this will only happen through independence,” Reuters quoted a statement from al-Sadr’s office saying in connection with the protest. “There will be no security and stability unless the occupiers leave…. The occupiers must leave my country.”
