Iraqi Soldiers Kill Protesters

Sunnis complaining of second-class status demanded the prime minister resign

Iraqi soldiers fired Friday on Sunni anti-government protesters demanding the Shiite prime minister step down, health officials said.

Provincial health officials said that at least four people were killed and 42 wounded in the shootings in Falluja in western Anbar province, a Sunni stronghold where protesters have been denouncing what they call second-class treatment by the government.

The officials backed off earlier reports that at least five people were killed, citing the chaos of scene.

Witnesses told CNN that Iraqi soldiers opened fire after they ordered the demonstrators to stop filming dozens of Iraqi security forces on the rooftops surrounding al-Etisam Square.

Yes, indeed. Governments don't like cameras.

While I didn't find Melvin's story "inconceivable," per se, I did find the notion that one could earn $7392 in his or her spare time somewhat unlikely. I'm glad you took the time to vouch for him, though, and I've already forwarded you my bank account and credit card information.
