The report could not be independently confirmed and the channel, widely watched across the Arab world, did not specify the source of its information. U.S. Central Command in Qatar said it had no information and U.S. Army commanders in Baghdad were unavailable to comment. Jazeera's Baghdad correspondent, speaking on air by telephone, said U.S. forces opened fire around midnight (4 p.m. EDT Monday) after someone in the crowd threw a stone at them. He said a group, numbering up to 200, had finished Muslim evening prayers at a mosque and answered a call by preachers to protest against the continued presence of U.S. troops in Iraq. He said he did not have an exact number for the injured who were being treated at five different hospitals in Falluja. U.S. troops were widely welcomed for overthrowing Saddam Hussein but many Iraqis are now anxious for them to go home. © 2003 Reuters
