Fallujah, Iraq, May 1 - Three Iraqis were killed and two critically wounded Wednesday, a doctor said, after US troops opened fire on angry anti-American protesters here for the second time in three days.
There were differing accounts of the shooting, just as there were on Monday, when 13 Iraqis were killed by US troops in a similar incident.
US central command said soldiers opened fire when a convoy was shot at, but witnesses insisted the Americans were not attacked.
"This was a peaceful demonstration. Religious leaders told us not to be armed. There was no exchange of fire," said one witness, Safa Rusli.
