VOANews

   At least one person was reported dead Wednesday as Iraqi police used
   live ammunition and tear gas to try to disperse anti-government
   protesters who took to the streets for a second day in Baghdad.

   Demonstrators have filled streets around the Iraqi capital since
   Tuesday to protest high unemployment and poor government services. The
   protests started in peacefully Tuesday in Baghdad's Tahrir Square
   peacefully but turned violent after security forces were deployed with
   water cannons, tear gas and live ammunition. At least two people were
   killed on Tuesday.
