U.S. Forces Kill 15 Demonstrators In Iraq: Al-Jazeera
BAGHDAD, April 29, (IslamOnline.net & News Agencies) –Qatar-based satellite channel Al-Jazeera television said Tuesday, April 29, that 15 Iraqis were killed and about 50 wounded overnight when U.S. occupation forces opened fire on a crowd of demonstrators against the U.S. military presence in the town of Falluja, 30 miles west of Baghdad.
The report followed an initial one that ten people were killed and 70 wounded when the crowd staged a peaceful demonstration chanting calls for the U.S. forces to leave Iraq, the news network Baghdad correspondent, speaking on air by telephone.
But the protests turned bloody when the U.S. forces opened random fire after someone in the crowd threw a stone at the school where they are stationed into, al-Jazeera correspondent said.
He added a group, numbering up to 200, had finished Muslim evening prayers at a mosque and answered a call by preachers to protest against the continued presence of U.S. troops in Iraq.
The protestors also called on the U.S. forces to leave a school they stationed into in order for students to resume their studies, added the correspondent.
He said he did not have an exact account of the injured who were being treated at five different hospitals in Falluja.
The shooting came just hours after U.S. President George W. Bush promised the United States would promote democracy in Iraq.
"It'll be a hard journey, but every step of the way, Iraq will have a steady friend in the American people," Bush told about 600 Arab-Americans at the Ford Community and Performing Arts Center in Dearborn, a suburb of Detroit.
U.S. Central Command in Qatar said it had no information and U.S. Army commanders in Baghdad were unavailable to comment, according to Reuters.
U.S. troops were [allegedly] welcomed for overthrowing Saddam Hussein but many Iraqis are now anxious for them to go home, it added.
The U.S. forces were widely slammed by the Iraqi people for turning a blind eye over the large acts of looting and thievery all of the Iraqi areas descended into following their invasion and the overthrow of Saddam.
There were also waves of massive demonstrations that broke out in various districts of the country with higher calls for ending the occupation and the precipitous formation of a national government.
In one demonstration, tens of thousands of Iraqis, both Sunnis and Shiites, joined hands demanding an end to the Anglo-American occupation of their country with chants "No to Saddam, No to Bush, Yes to Islam".
In another related development, the body of a soldier found the day after a convoy was ambushed in southern Iraq was identified as Army Spc. Edward John Anguiano, the last missing soldier in Iraq.
"What we heard is that he was ambushed," said Vicente Anguiano Sr., 72. "They found his truck, the one he drove, and it had been stripped — tires and everything. They found a body near the truck."
Anguiano, 24, was in the 3rd Infantry Combat Support Battalion out of Fort Stewart, Ga. He was traveling with the 507th Maintenance Company, a unit from Fort Bliss in El Paso, when it was attacked on March 23. Nine soldiers were killed and six, all with the 507th, were taken prisoner.
