Three Katyusha rockets land in Baghdad's fortified Green Zone as Iraq's parliament votes to reject the resignation of speaker Mohammed Halbousi
Three Katyusha rockets landed in Baghdad's fortified Green Zone as Iraq's parliament voted to reject the resignation of speaker Mohammed Halbousi, Iraq's military has said.
Seven security personnel were wounded in the attack on Wednesday, which took place amid a partial lockdown as parliament was convening. Security forces blocked bridges to the central Green Zone and imposed a curfew on buses, motorcycles and trucks. Another rocket later fell near the Green Zone, where parliament and many government offices and foreign embassies are located, security sources said.
Despite the tight restrictions, dozens of supporters of cleric Muqtada al Sadr gathered in Baghdad's Tahrir Square, which lies outside the Green Zone, to protest against the parliamentary session.
