Dozens of angry protesters blocked a road where Iraq's presidential convoy was passing on Friday over Thursday's ferryboat accident that killed at least 100 in Iraq's Tigris River near the city of Mosul. In the early hours of Friday, local authorities said that 55 survivors had been pulled from the river near Mosul, the regional capital of Nineveh province.
