Crowds of followers of radical Shiite cleric Moqtada al-Sadr chanted anti-US slogans on Saturday as they began a march in Baghdad protesting the American occupation of Iraq.
The march began at the cleric’s Sadr City bastion in eastern Baghdad and was to end at nearby Mustansiriyah Square where the protestors planned to burn the effigies of US President George W. Bush and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.
