3 killed, dozens injured in Iraqi protests

Three people were killed and dozens wounded in the southern city of Kut on Wednesday as Iraqis demanding better basic services fought with police and torched government buildings, hospital and police sources said.

 

Around 2,000 people took to the streets in Kut, throwing bricks and stones at Iraqi security forces. Some voiced direct anger at Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki, echoing anti-government rallies that have shaken other parts of the Arab world. (AP)
