Defying Crackdown, Hundreds of Iraqis Protest for Third Day

Reuters

   BAGHDAD - Hundreds of Iraqi protesters remained in Baghdad's central
   Tahrir Square on Sunday, defying a bloody crackdown that killed scores
   over the weekend and an overnight raid by security forces seeking to
   disperse them.

   Young men had erected barricades on a bridge leading to the capital's
   fortified Green Zone between them and security forces who continued to
   lob tear gas canisters towards them.
