Iraqis in protest

DOZENS of Iraqi athletes are demanding the release of a 16-year-old soccer player detained in Bahrain earlier this year when the Gulf island nation was swept by anti-government protests. The athletes staged a rally yesterday in downtown Baghdad. Hussein Aboud, a football coach in al-Hadoud club, says the arrest of Zulfiqar Naji, who plays on the junior team for Bahraini club Al Muharraq was not justified and was politically motivated.
