Thousands of Iraqis Protest in "Day Of Regret" 
-----------------------------------------------



In Iraq, thousands of demonstrators have taken to the streets to demand
economic progress and an end to corruption. Protests are reported in
Baghdad, Basra, Nineveh, Anbar and Salaheddin. In an attempt to limit
the size of the protests, the Iraqi government has banned the movement
of vehicles in Baghdad and other major cities forcing protesters to walk
to the demonstrations. Today has been described as the "Day of Regret,"
to mark one year since the Iraqi parliamentary elections.
