Iraqi officials said one anti-government protester has been killed by security forces on Tuesday and 21 others wounded amid ongoing clashes with security forces in Baghdad.
Security and hospital officials said the protester died when he was struck with a rubber bullet fired by security forces on Rasheed Street near the strategic Ahrar Bridge.
Protesters are occupying part of three key bridges -- Jumhuriya, Ahrar and Sinak -- in a standoff with security forces.
