9 dead, hundreds wounded in two days of antigovernment protests in Iraq
 By Morgan Phillips | Fox News

 Nine people were killed and hundreds more wounded over the past two days as antigovernment protests turned violent in Iraq.

Seven died in Wednesday’s protests, three in Baghdad and four in Nasiriyah, while some 132 were wounded. Two more died in Tuesday’s protests -- more than 200 were hurt -- as demonstrators and Iraqi security forces clashed in the largest public outcry since Iraqi Prime Minister Adel Abdul Mahdi’s government was formed a year ago.

Amid the hectic demonstrations, a 10-year-old girl was killed by a car speeding away from a checkpoint.

Heshmet Alavi, Journalist, Iranian says what a lot of this is about is about getting Iranian Teheran Mullah types of puppet rulers out of Iraq. We are speaking about IRAQ not Iran. A whole bunch of more demonstrators died, the last count I saw was 27, imagine if China or Hong Kong had killed that many protesters?  Pretty curious though, I watched one video from there and someone had an ISIS flag, it was in the crowd, so it could have been few individuals.

Pretty violent crackdown, in the South of Iraq primarily, at least, it began there, now it has spread and is in Baghdad.

Okay, here is that video, it looks like an ISIS flag 13 seconds into the 17 second video, it could be some other flag too, some are black flags with red writing on them.:

Tahrir Square - Baghdad, #Iraq
Barrage of gunfire targeting demonstrators protesting corruption & #Iran's meddling.

Mark my words:
Tehran is behind this crackdown. The mullahs believe the fall of Iraq will the beginning of their own toppling.



It's bedlam out there.
