Thousands Join "Day of Rage" in Iraq 
-------------------------------------



Thousands of protesters have taken to the streets of Iraq today in
defiance of a government plea to stay home. Demonstrators have turned
out for a "day of rage" in a number of cities to denounce corruption and
demand better services. Clashes have broken out in the town of Hawija,
leaving two dead and more than 20 injured. In other Iraq news, 15 people
were killed and 21 wounded when a suicide bomber attacked a religious
ceremony in the city of Ramadi.
