Baghdad throng largest for pro-Hezbollah rallies.
BAGHDAD -- Tens of thousands of Shi'ites crowded into a Baghdad slum yesterday to show support for Hezbollah as Arab anger toward Israel mounted on the Muslim holy day.
Such protests have even reached Saudi Arabia, where public discontent is rare.
In the most violent demonstration, about 100 people threw stones and a firebomb at the British Embassy in Tehran, damaging the building but harming nobody as they accused Britain and the United States of being accomplices in Israel's fight against Hezbollah, a Shi'ite group in Lebanon that is backed by Iran.
Even Sunni Muslim demonstrators took to the streets of Damascus, Syria; Amman, Jordan and Cairo.
But their numbers were dwarfed by the huge Shi'ite turnout in Baghdad, organized by anti-American cleric Muqtada al-Sadr.
Crowds of al-Sadr supporters from across Iraq's Shi'ite heartland converged on the capital's Sadr City district, chanting "Death to Israel, Death to America" in the biggest pro-Hezbollah rally since the conflict began July 12.
