At least 27 killed as fresh protests engulf Iraq
Nearly 1,800 people were injured nationwide, according to medical sources, as demonstrators vented frustration at political elites they say have failed to improve their lives after years of conflict. "All we want are four things: jobs, water, electricity, and safety. That`s all we want," said 16-year-old Ali Mohammed who had covered his face with a T-shirt to avoid inhaling tear gas, as chaotic scenes overwhelmed Baghdad`s central Tahrir Square.
