U.S. Troops Fire on Iraqi Protesters, Leaving 15 Dead

U.S. Troops Fire on Iraqi Protesters, Leaving 15 Dead
American soldiers shot dead what hospital officials said were 15 people at an anti-American rally here late on Monday. Accounts of the incident, which occurred on Saddam Hussein's birthday, varied widely today: Iraqis said the soldiers opened fire, unprovoked, while the soldiers said they were fired on first and then responded with a careful counter-attack.
