President Ricardo Maduro sent Honduran troops to Iraq where they are under Spanish command.

Maduro said Tuesday he had no plans to prolong his troops' tour beyond their scheduled return in July.

"Bring the soldiers home, let Maduro leave," protestors shouted.

Anti-riot police oversaw the protest as demonstrators called US President George W. Bush a "fascist" on the anniversary of the US-led invasion.

"You're the terrorists," they said.

The protest was organized by an alliance of unions, farmers, business groups, and women and human rights groups.
