Iraqis Protest US Raids

HeadlineFeb 29, 2008

In Iraq, hundreds of protesters took to the streets of Baghdad Thursday to protest a US raid on a Sunni neighborhood. Two women were arrested when US troops entered their homes.

Baghdad resident: “We condemn the US forces’ acts. They raided houses at midnight, exploding doors of houses and roofs, houses of peaceful families. They raided them for the sake of nothing, arresting women. They are believers in democracy, as they say, so why did they do this?”
