Kurd party offices torched in Baghdad

Supporters of Hashed al-Shaabi, an Iraqi paramilitary network dominated by factions, yesterday burned down the main Kurdish party’s headquarters in Baghdad after criticism from a Kurdish ex-minister. Hundreds of Hashed demonstrators swept past a security detail and stormed into the offices of the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP), which runs the Kurdish autonomous region, and torched them. Protesters burned Kurdish flags.
