"Controversial Quran Burning Sparks Protest at Swedish Embassy in Baghdad"

Protesters stormed the Swedish Embassy in Baghdad in response to the planned burning of a Quran by an Iraqi man in Sweden. The embassy was overrun and a fire was started. Iraq's prime minister subsequently cut diplomatic ties with Sweden over the desecration of the Islamic holy book. The Swedish Embassy closed temporarily, and the Iraqi government announced the expulsion of the Swedish ambassador from Iraq. The incident comes after an anti-Islam protest in Stockholm where a man stepped on and kicked the Quran but did not set it on fire. The burning of the Quran has sparked protests and condemnation in the Muslim world.
