Thousands of Iraqis have taken to the streets of Baghdad for a second day expressing their anger over US-British air raids on the capital which officially killed two civilians and wounded more than 20.
"Yes to Jihad," or holy war, "No to submission," chanted some 3,000 people who gathered despite rainfall in southern Baghdad's Al-Baya district.
They pledged "total support" to President Saddam Hussein's determination to "liberate Palestine."
Another 5,000 demonstrators carrying red, white and black Iraqi and Palestinian flags marched through central Baghdad, condemning US President George W. Bush and his administration.
"Despite Bush and Fahad, Saddam is forever our president," they shouted. "We are all soldiers for liberation," they chanted.
Thousands were also out in northern Baghdad swearing allegiance to Saddam and attacking the US air strikes.
