BAGHDAD, Iraq - Hundreds of Iraqis hurled stones at British soldiers who waded into the crowd wielding batons in the southeastern town of Amarah on Sunday, a day after clashes that killed six protesters and wounded at least 11.
Demonstrators demanding jobs tried to rush the troops guarding the town hall, but the British beat them back from the compound, which also houses the U.S.-led coalition and the 1st Battalion of Britain's Light Infantry.
