Iraqi outcry as US bans newspaper

Hundreds of Iraqis have protested in Baghdad after a Shia newspaper was banned for allegedly inciting violence against the US-led coalition.
Angry crowds gathered at the offices of Al-Hawza Al-Natiqa weekly, which is produced by supporters of the radical Shia cleric Moqtada Sadr.

US troops earlier delivered a letter announcing a 60-day ban on the weekly.

The US blames Al-Hawza for inciting violence; the paper's supporters say the ban attacks freedom of expression.
