U.S. Occupying ForcesFiring on Demonstrators

U.S. occupying forces today committed a new crime, to be added to their daily crime records towards Iraq and its people.

The occupying forces opened fire at citizens demonstrating for the release of the Iraqi Arabic journalist Muntathar Al Zaidi.

Eyewitnesses in Al Fallujah said that U.S. forces shot a student in Al Anbar University in an attempt to disperse the demonstration of Al Anbar University students.

Jasim Muhammad, one of the students, said that the demonstration of law college students was peaceful. They were demanding his release. He added that the U.S. forces raided Al Anbar campus in Al Fallujah city and opened dense fire to disperse the demonstration, one of the students got shot.

Muhammad said there were 400 demonstrating students–they carried the Iraqi flag, and signs supporting media freedom. They were all dispersed by U.S. military force. Iraqi government police came later to surround Al Anbar University campus in Al Fallujah.

A medical source in Al Anbar hospital stated that the hospital received an injured student, Zaid Mahmoud, with a U.S. bullet in one of his legs.

    wish american journalists were as brave.

    they are part of the imperialism of america.

    most americans have this imperialism agenda.

    my new american hero an iraqi that throws his shoes at bush jr a sociopath.

    please iraqis know that not all americans are imperialists.

    even hitler had germans that did not go along with his war mongering agenda. there are a few of us in america. very few but still a few. iraqi war protest are few and not many attend.

    the ladies in pink care but few others do.

    most americans care little about how many iraqis we kill just like we did not care how many vietnamese we killed. ie over one million.
