STORY CONTINUES BELOW THESE SALTWIRE VIDEOSSULAIMANIYA, Iraq - Iraqi security forces deployed in the northern Iraqi oil city of Kirkuk on Sunday to prevent further violence as the death toll in clashes between ethnic groups the previous day rose to four, police and security sources said.
Amir Shwani, a spokesman for Kirkuk police, said in a statement to reporters a curfew had been lifted and vehicles were moving normally in the city on Sunday. The dispute centres on a building in Kirkuk that was once the headquarters for the Kurdistan Democratic Party but which the Iraqi army has used a base since 2017.
Shwani confirmed that four protestors had been killed and 15 people were wounded. Residents said police detained several people on Sunday who had participated in the clashes but police refused to comment on any arrests.
