The Associated Press has a short article about the latest in the Middle East:
Protesters in Iraq are jeering Saudi Arabia's king as a slave of America and Israel for sending troops into Bahrain. A Saudi-led force entered Bahrain earlier this week to support the nation's Sunni monarchy. More than a month of protests by majority Shi'ites are seeking to break the dynasty's grip on power.
On Saturday, two thousand Iraqis in the capital carried Bahraini flags and chanted Yes, yes to Bahrain! in Baghdad's Shi'ite Sadr City area. Some four thousand gathered in the second-largest city, Basra, and carried an effigy of Saudi King Abdullah through the crowd.
Iraqi leaders fear the clashes in Bahrain could fuel sectarian violence across the Mideast.
