Ammar al-Hakim, son of Iraqi Shi'ite leader Abdul-Aziz al-Hakim, speaks during a news conference in Najaf, 160 km (100 miles) south of Baghdad, February 24, 2007. Hundreds of Iraqis took to the streets of Shi'ite towns on Saturday to protest Friday's detention of Ammar. The U.S. military said Ammar was held on Friday because members of his convoy acted suspiciously at a border checkpoint while returning from Iran. He was released after several hours.
