Serious rioting in Bagdad
US tanks deployed in the Iraqi capital to stop hundreds of angry protestors marching on the coalition's city-centre headquarters as Shiite Muslim radicals took to the streets across central and southern Iraq.
The protest in the capital turned violent as some supporters of radical leader Moqtada Sadr threw themselves at the US tanks and a police officer said at least two of the demonstrators had been crushed.
There has been continous protesting since the US shut down Sadr's mouthpeice paper last week. A rumor floated this weekend that a significant Iraqi leader had been arrested, and things sparked after that.
