Iraqi security forces shot at anti-government
protesters in Baghdad on Sunday, killing at least one person, and unidentified men set
fire to sit-in tents in a southern Iraqi city,
police and medics said, as months-long civil unrest escalated.
Separately, at least one of five Katyusha rockets fired at Baghdad's fortified Green Zone hit the U.S. embassy, wounding three people, in a rare direct targeting of the compound, security sources said.
Anti-government
protests erupted in Baghdad on Oct. 1 and quickly turned violent.
