Pro-Iran Protesters Dig In Outside U.S. Embassy in Baghdad
(AFP) Thousands of Iraqi supporters of Iranian-trained paramilitary forces dug in outside the U.S. embassy in Baghdad on Wednesday, throwing rocks and burning U.S. flags a day after making a dramatic incursion into the compound. They had marched unimpeded through the checkpoints of the usually high-security Green Zone. The protesters set up portable toilets and 50 tents outside the perimeter wall, vowing not to leave until U.S. forces quit Iraq. On Wednesday morning, a truck delivered hundreds of mattresses.
