BAGHDAD, Iraq: Thousands of Iraqis demonstrated in
Baghdad on Friday after two days of bloodshed that claimed at least
200 lives.
In the demonstration in Baghdad's Sadr City slum, protesters chanting
slogans against US Ambassador Zalmay Khalizad and hardliners who have
been complaining of widespread fraud in the Dec. 15 elections.
The demonstration was organized after Friday prayers by Iraq's main
political party, the Supreme Council for the Islamic Revolution or
SCIRI.
On Wednesday, 53 people died in attacks, including 32 left martyred by
a suicide bomber at a majlis al-aza.
At Friday prayers at the Umm al-Qura mosque, the headquarters of the
Sunni Association of Muslim Scholars, Sheik Ali Khodir al-Zand blamed
foreign insurgents for Thursday's bloodshed in Karbala and said
security must improve.
