Qatar-based al-Jazeera television, quoting Iraqi medics, said 50 people had been killed in U.S. bombing around Basra and aired grisly footage of dead and wounded civilians.


Among the scenes beamed across the Arab world were a child with the back of its head blown off and bloodied people being treated on the floor of a hospital.


"Did you see all those bombs falling on TV? All the poor people? And for what? America wants to subjugate the entire region for the sake of Israel," said a protester in Cairo, 50-year-old Egyptian housewife Samia.
