1 dead, dozens injured in protest in northern Iraq

None

Police and hospital officials in the northern city of Sulaimaniyah say one person has been killed and 47 wounded during overnight protests.

 

A Sulaimaniyah police official said Monday that around 2,000 people took part in scattered demonstrations around the city, 160 miles (260 kilometers) northeast of Baghdad, late Sunday. Many Kurds are frustrated with the tight grip with which the two ruling parties control the Kurdish autonomous region. (AP)
