Jubilant Iraqis Drag Burned Body Through Streets

FALLUJA, Iraq (Reuters) - Jubilant Iraqis dragged the burned body of what appeared to be a foreigner through the streets of the volatile town of Falluja on Wednesday and threw stones at a corpse still inside a car engulfed with flames.



In what appeared to be a separate incident, the U.S. military said five of its coalition soldiers were killed by a roadside bomb west of Baghdad on Wednesday morning.


Reuters Television footage from Falluja showed two civilian cars ablaze. Residents shouted "Long Live Falluja" and "Allahu Akbar" ("God is Greatest") as they danced around the vehicles waving their arms in the air and making the victory sign.


Pictures showed at least one person kicking a burned corpse as it lay on the ground and stamping on its head.


A dead man, who appeared to be a foreigner with fair hair and in civilian clothes, lay in the road beside one of the cars, his feet on fire and blood stains on his white shirt.
