Attacks have not been claimed by any party. FMTNews Protest

Protesters set fire to close a street during clashes between security forces and anti-government protesters.

On Sunday, one rocket hit an embassy cafeteria at dinner time while two others landed nearby, a security source told AFP. Iraq has already been dragged into a worrying tit-for-tat between the United States and Iran over the last month. Sadr had previously backed separate anti-regime protests sweeping Iraq’s capital and south, even though he controls the largest bloc in parliament and top ministerial posts.

Those efforts continued into Sunday, with security forces using live rounds and tear gas to try to flush protesters out of squares and streets they had occupied for months. In Baghdad, university students marched from a campus in the city centre to the main rally area of Tahrir Square.
