BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Iraqi security forces shot dead 16 protesters in the southern city of Nassiriya on Thursday, medical sources said, and authorities imposed a curfew in Najaf after demonstrators burned its Iranian consulate.
Authorities set up joint military-civilian “crisis cells†to try to stem unrest and a paramilitary commander vowed to use force to stop any attack against Shi’ite Muslim religious authorities.
