Protesters storm Baghdad´s Green Zone, dozens hurt
Dozens of demonstrators were injured by tear gas and live fire, witnesses said. Some security personnel were stabbed, according to a military statement. Authorities could **t immediately verify reports that several civilians had been killed. The thousands of Protesters included supporters of cleric Moqtada al-Sadr and people from other groups upset with the government´s failure to approve anti-corruption reforms and provide security. The government briefly imposed a curfew on Baghdad and authorities later said order had returned after what they called rioting at the Green Zone, which houses parliament, government buildings and many foreign embassies. "Infiltrators exploited our forces´ preoccupation with preparations for the Falluja battle to penetrate state institutions and cause chaos," the military said, referring to a city 50 km (30 miles) west of Baghdad controlled by Islamic State for more than two years. Protesters occupied the cabinet building for several hours. Some held Iraqi flags and flashed peace signs near the insignia of the prime minister´s press ****** and inside a meeting room. The Protesters eventually withdrew to Tahrir Square, but witnesses said security forces and unidentified gunmen opened fire there as well. A military statement said the riot police were "dealing with anyone trying to damage state institutions in accordance with the law". SECOND BREACH Sadr expressed support for what he called a "peaceful spontaneous revolt" and condemned the government for "killing its children in cold blood". His supporters, protesting parliament´s failure to approve a **n-political cabinet, also breached the Green Zone on April 30, storming the assembly complex and attacking officials before holding a 24-hour sit-in at a nearby square. أكثر... ??????? ??????: Protesters storm Baghdad´s Green Zone, dozens hurt || ??????: ahlam1399 || ??????: اسم منتداك
