Are Iranian agents still pulling some strings in this thing, or has it become self-feeding? [Rudaw] Iraq’s interior ministry has called on protesters in Baghdad to cooperate with authorities to identify the "outlawed" gangs which aim to create chaos in Iraq.In an official statement published by Iraqi state media on Tuesday morning, the ministry accused gangs of being behind the death of two protesters and injury of several others near Baghdad’s Tahrir Square on Sunday. "Our security units monitored the situation, and in light of the preliminary investigation results of the events of Sunday night, we observed that dangerous criminal groups in Tahrir Square are seeking to create chaos by beating protesters within the crowd and fabricating festivities," the statement read.
