Iraqis stage dueling rallies in Baghdad

None

Hundreds of Iraqis are rallying in central Baghdad in dueling pro- and anti-government demonstrations.

Supporters of Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki have descended on Tahrir Square for a rally that appears to be an attempt to overshadow the small group of anti-government protesters who demonstrate weekly in the capital.

 

The anti-government group criticized al-Maliki for failing to improve government services after his self-imposed time limit for enacting reforms expired June 7. (AP)
