15 Iraqi soldiers who were travelling in a convoy south of Baghdad were killed by insurgents.
The soldiers were in an area known as the "triangle of death" on the second anniversary of Baghdad to the U.S.-led coalition.
According to a BBC article,
Tens of thousands of Iraqis joined an anti-US protest in Firdus Square, where Saddam Hussein's statue was toppled on 9 April 2003 as millions watched on TV.
Chanting "No to America" and "No to the occupiers", they pulled down and burned effigies of Saddam Hussein, US President George W Bush and British Prime Minister Tony Blair.
The gunmen reportedly made the soldiers stop their truck before shooting them.
