US troops in culture chasm

[dArKeR]

Baghdad, Iraq - American troops fired into the air outside the oil ministry on Tuesday to disperse protesters whose complaint focused on a dog, a woman, a holy book and the cultural chasm that divides the US occupation from ordinary Iraqis.

At one point, fists and rifle butts flew between US soldiers and ministry employees infuriated over what happened to Amal Karim, but no serious injuries were immediately reported.

The confrontation began when the 28-year-old woman employee showed up for work on Tuesday morning and faced a routine search at the ministry entrance by US soldiers, who have tightly guarded the building since the end of the US-Iraq war last April.
