IRAQIS RAISE THEIR HANDS DURING PRAYERS IN BAGHDAD, 2003-04-28 (photo)

Iraqis raise their hands during prayers in front of Sheraton and Palestine hotels in central Baghdad on April 28, 2003. Several hundred Shi'ites protested here, saying the Shi'ite theological college in the holy city of Najaf was not properly represented at the meeting between Jay Garner, the retired U.S. general administering postwar Iraq, and Iraqi delegates on Monday. Some in the crowd outside the Palestine Hotel, the city's main media centre, also raised banners in support of Mohammed Mohsen Zubaidi, the former exile who declared himself mayor of Baghdad but was arrested by U.S. forces on Sunday.
