Thousands Protest U.S. Siege of Shiite Town

HeadlineJul 25, 2007

In other Iraq news, thousands of people marched in Baghdad Tuesday to protest the U.S. assault on Husseiniya. The U.S. military has placed the Shiite town under total siege since Saturday. Residents say U.S. helicopters have destroyed three homes, killing at least 18 people, including women and children.

Baghdad resident Abu Hussein: “The occupier has to leave. The occupier has to respect the people of Iraq, its elderly and its youth. They will not divide us Sunnis and Shi’ites. We are all one Iraq.”
