Baghdad - Asserting their growing clout, thousands of Shiite Muslims marched through Baghdad for a second day Tuesday, demanding the execution of Saddam Hussein, the dictator who had repressed them for decades. Some 5,000 people took part in the march Tuesday that wound its way from the poor Shiite neighbourhood of Sadr City on the outskirts of the capital to Firdous Square, where Saddam's statue was toppled on April 9, 2003 in a symbolic downfall of his regime. A massive banner waved by some of the demonstrators read: The Butcher Of Iraq Is Not A PoW. He Must Be Punished.
