PRO-COALITION DEMONSTRATION HELD IN AR RAMADI

AR RAMADI, Iraq – Iraqis of the Al Anbar province gathered December 10th for an anti-terrorist demonstration at the provincial council headquarters in Ar Ramadi.

Approximately 200 men, women and children gathered with banners to chant slogans condemning terrorism. Ar Ramadi, a former Ba’athist stronghold located approximately 60 miles west of Baghdad, has been a site of persistent anti-Coalition activities since post-war reconstruction efforts began.

Speakers expressed disapproval of terrorist actions and urged Iraqis to take action against anti-Coalition Forces. This outward display of support demonstrates increased cooperation between local Iraqis and Coalition Forces, resulting in increased information provided by tipsters and clearly showing the Iraqis’ desire for a safe and secure environment.
