Baghdad, June 2 - Tens of thousands of Iraqi soldiers in a massive demonstration in Baghdad streets on Monday, protest the dissolution of Iraq's army, and called on the occupiers to quit the country.

The demonstrators chanting slogans such as "Occupier go out, this is the last warn", condemned U.S. for dissolution of Iraq's army.

They threatened that: "Unless the Iraqi soldiers come back to teir posts, some retaliatory measures would be taken against the U.S."

After walking a long distance, protestors gathered in front of the residential place of Paul Bremer in Baghdad, and announced that it was their last peaceful practice.

The protest was the largest anti-US demonstration in Iraq since the occupation of the country.
