Five protesters said killed in Iraq capital
Five protesters were killed today in the Iraqi capital Baghdad, a rights commission says, bringing the total death toll nationwide since anti-government rallies erupted this month to nearly 240.
Ali Bayati of the Iraqi Human Rights Commission tells AFP it is unclear how they had died, but many in Baghdad in recent days have sustained severe trauma wounds from tear gas canisters fired by security forces.
