Baghdad, Iraq ? Shiite demonstrators raised the Iraqi flag over Jordan’s Embassy on Friday after more than 2,000 people marched through Baghdad demanding an apology for the alleged involvement of a Jordanian in a suicide bombing that killed 125 people.

The protest — the largest in a week of mounting anger — came two days after the leader of the clergy-backed United Iraqi Alliance claimed during Iraq’s first National Assembly meeting that neighboring Jordan wasn’t doing enough to prevent terrorists from slipping into Iraq.

Iraqi demonstrators push through a police line on their way to the Jordanian embassy in Baghdad, Iraq. More than 2,000 Shiites marched Friday through the streets of Baghdad to protest the alleged involvement of a Jordanian in Iraq's single deadliest suicide bombing, a Feb. 28 attack south of Baghdad that killed 125 people.

Also Friday, a U.S. soldier was killed when attackers fired on an American patrol in Baghdad, the military said. At least 1,519 members of the U.S. military have died since the Iraq war started two years ago, according to an Associated Press count.

U.S. and Iraqi forces also clashed with gunmen in Ramadi, a city 70 miles west of Baghdad, after militants attacked a government building. No casualties were immediately reported.

Hundreds of protesters converged on the Jordanian Embassy after finishing Friday prayers at three Shiite mosques across Baghdad. They burned Israeli and Jordanian flags and shouted slogans against Jordan’s King Abdullah II, such as “Take your embassy away. We do not want to see you!” and “There’s no God but God, Abdullah is the enemy of God!”

Three men in green camouflage, including one wearing a black balaclava, were later seen on an embassy roof raising an Iraqi flag on a makeshift flagpole. Another pole that previously held the Jordanian standard was bare.
