2ND MASSACRE IN IRAQ IN AS MANY DAYS

by dove-on-bayonet
On Wednesday April 30, 2003, hundreds of Iraqi demonstrators marched in the streets in Fallujah to protest against U.S. troops having killed 13 protestors the previous day at Fallujah's primary school. Up to 75 were wounded in the Tuesday assault.

On Wednesday hundreds of angry people hit the streets demanding an end to the U.S. occupation. A U.S. convoy opened fire on the demonstrators for the second time this week. Three people were killed, and a hospital administrator said 18 were wounded.

When the convoy of occupation troops arrived at the scene, Iraqi demonstrators threw stones at them. An occupation Army officer said soldiers in the convoy passing the demonstrators were shot at, and so returned fire... witnesses on the scene reported no gun fire except that of the U.S. soldiers (All photos - AP Hussein Malla)
