Hundreds of thousands heeded the call for a 'Million Man March' in Baghdad, calling for US troops to leave Iraq amidst a heavy security presence
Baghdad, Iraq Hundreds of thousands of protesters were marching through Baghdad on Friday calling for US troops to leave Iraq, heeding the call of powerful Shia cleric Muqtada al-Sadr who called for a"Million Man March."
Families and children held aloft signs that read"no, no to America" and"no, no to occupation" amid a sea of Iraqi flags. A heavy security presence surrounded the path of the march, as well as the Green Zone which houses the US embassy. The US operation in Iraq could come to an embarrassing end.
