Thousands of supporters of Shiite cleric Moqtada al-Sadr on Saturday stormed Baghdad's fortified government zone and breached Iraq's parliament, the second time in a week, to protest the government formation efforts led by Iran-backed groups.
Protesters rallied by Sadr and his social-political Sadrist Movement tore down concrete barriers and entered the Green Zone, which houses government buildings and foreign missions, heading for Iraq's parliament, a Reuters witness said.
