Swedish Embassy in Baghdad Breached by Protestors over Quran Burning

Protesters breached the Swedish embassy in Baghdad following a Quran burning incident in Sweden. The protests were ordered by influential Iraqi Shia cleric Muqtada al-Sadr, who also called for the expulsion of the Swedish ambassador. Demonstrators climbed over barricades and entered the embassy compound for about 15 minutes before withdrawing. Sweden confirmed the safety of its staff, while Muslim countries and organizations condemned the Quran burning. This is not the first time the Swedish embassy in Baghdad has faced protests over a Quran burning incident.
