Militias crack down
Militia Gunmen open fire on protesters in Baghdad's Khulani Square, killing at least 29 people and wounding 130. The incident occurred amid an ongoing stand-off between anti-government demonstrators and security forces on the nearby Jumhuriya, Sinak, and Ahrar bridges. The attack comes one day after 13 protesters were stabbed by unknown assailants in Tahrir Square.
