More deaths after protesters’ action

IRAQ: Three anti-government protesters have been killed and 25 others injured amid ongoing clashes with Iraqi security forces near a strategic bridge in Baghdad.

The latest clashes came just hours after some of the most intense street violence seen in recent days, with 10 protesters killed and another 100 injured.

Security forces used tear gas and live ammunition to repel demonstrators in clashes that lasted well into the night on Thursday.
