As with the idiot students at Kent State (VietNam era), throwing things at soldiers who are carrying automatic weapons comes under the heading of "...terminally stupid..."!!!

Demonstrators shot dead in southern Iraq

The British military in Iraq says order has been restored in the south of the country,
where at least five protesters were killed.


Iraqi police and British troops in the city of Amara shot at demonstrators when their protest about job shortages turned violent.

Also in southern Iraq, the discovery of dozens of suspected chemical shells has been played down by the United States.

The 36 mortar rounds were found by Danish troops buried in plastic bags.

Initial tests suggest they contain a chemical blister agent, but that still has to be confirmed.

The senior coalition spokesman in Baghdad, General Mark Kimmitt, says the weapons had been hidden for years.

"We've secured the area," he said, adding: "We suspect that this is ordinance that may have been left over from the Iran-Iraq war in the early 80s."
