Iraqi protests against Iranian influence turn violent, 7 killed
2019-10-27
[Jpost] Iraqi protesters spoke out against Iran's influence in the country and stormed buildings belonging to Iranian-backed Shi'ite militias and the Iranian embassy in Karbala in southern Iraq on Saturday, as renewed protests swept the nation, according to Sky News Arabia.

At least seven protesters were killed and 38 maimed in the Iraqi city of Hilla early on Sunday when members of the Iranian-backed Badr Organization militia gave the demonstrators a whiff of grapeshot, police and health sources said.

Protesters had gathered across Iraq on Saturday in a second day of anti-government protests, in which at least 67 people have died.
