2 Frenchmen Shot; 4 Protesters Die

Four Iraqi protesters were killed by Iraqi police in Basra. They were veterans demonstrating because they had not received their monthly stipends, promised by the CPA. Two civiian French contractors were shot near Fallujah when their car broke down.

American nationalists who dislike the French so much may be put in a difficult position by this latter, since there are now French martyrs to the cause of Iraqi liberation from Saddam.
