Iraqi Foreign Ministry in Baghdad Attacked

HeadlineOct 07, 2003

In Baghdad, the Iraqi Foreign Ministry today came under either a grenade or mortar attack. No injuries were reported. Meanwhile in southwest Baghdad, hundreds of Iraqis protested Monday’s arrest by US forces of a Shiite Imam Sheikh Mohammed al-Sudani. Supporters of the cleric shouted today “America equals Saddam”. In the northern Iraqi town of Baiji, 300 members of the US-appointed police force have fled the town fearing for their lives as opposition to the US occupation grows. Iraqi protesters also set the local police headquarters and mayor’s office on fire.
