FOXNews.com - Top Stories - U.S. Retaliates After Black Hawk Crash: "In Baghdad, about 500 Sunni Muslims marched Friday to coalition headquarters to demand the release of 36 clerics arrested in recent months. Protesters chanted Islamic slogans including 'America's army will be wiped out,' and 'America is the enemy of God.' They also carried a banner reading 'Prisons ... will never terrify us.'
Marchers stopped at the heavily fortified compound and sent a three-member delegation inside to present their demand. After a 45-minute meeting, the three delegates returned, saying they has been promised 'that something good would happen,' according to one of them, Sheik Awad al-Haradan.
Another delegate said the Americans asked them to work on stopping anti-coalition attacks in Iraq.
'They wanted us to give them guarantees that what they call violence ends. We told them that this will only end when the last American soldier leaves the country,' said Sheik Abdel-Sattar al-Janabi. "
