  • Story Text: A crowd has gathered outside an Iraqi military
    intelligence building in Baghdad with the hopes of finding
    information about relatives believed to have been held there.



    As a semblance of normality returns to Baghdad, a crowd
    of Iraqis gathered in front of the Iraqi Military Intelligence
    building on Monday (April 14), hoping to find information on
    long-lost relatives.

    Dozens of people tried to get into the military
    intelligence, but were prevented by American soldiers.

    Chanting "we want our people," the crowd expressed
    frustration at the lack of information they were receiving.

    "All the people here have a son or a brother or a cousin,"
    said Ali Awad, one of the crowd members searching for a
    relative.
