Baghdad

Two people were killed in southern Iraq and 26 were wounded in Baghdad on Saturday, police and hospital sources said, as demonstrators and security forces clashed in protests against Prime Minister Adel Abdul Mahdi’s government.
The unrest followed a day of violent protests in which at least 52 people were killed around the country on Friday.
Two protesters were killed and 17 people were wounded in the southern Iraqi city of Nasiriya. A group of protesters broke off from thousands gathered in central Nasiriya to storm the house of a local official, police said. Guards opened fired on the protesters after they torched the building, police said. In Baghdad, security forces lobbed tear gas to try to disperse demonstrators in Tahrir Square.—APP
