  • Story Text: Hundreds of people have attended the funeral of an
    Iraqi man killed in clashes in Kerbala when U.S. troops opened
    fire during a protest staged against the killing of another
    Iraqi the day before, also by US troops.



    An Iraqi man was killed and three wounded in the
    Shi'ite holy city of Kerbala on Sunday (July 27) when
    protesters clashed with U.S. troops and Iraqi police,
    witnesses and hospital workers said.

    Marines said two Kalashnikov rifle shots were fired during
    the protest and they returned fire. Reuters journalists saw
    troops fire in the air to try to disperse stone-throwers angry
    at the killing of another man by U.S. troops on Saturday (July
    26).

    Doctors at a hospital in the city, home to one of Shi'ite
    Islam's holiest shrines, said the man killed in Sunday's
    protest had been shot and showed the wound to a Reuters
    correspondent.
