THE GULF WAR : In South Africa
Thousands of pro-Iraqi MUSLIMS, some chanting “Saddam, our hero!” and “A bullet for Bush!” marched on U.S. diplomatic missions in Durban, Johannesburg and other cities to protest U.S. involvement in the Gulf War.

Anti-American protests by thousands among South Africa’s 400,000 Muslims have surged since U.S.-led forces attacked Iraq and occupied Kuwait last week.
