Unrest in Baghdad continues despite curfew

Despite the curfew that was announced, Baghdad has also remained unsettled in the evenings. Gunfire was again reported. Tensions flared between rival Shia groups on Monday after supporters of the influential cleric Muqtada al-Sadr stormed the government palace in the Iraqi capital’s fenced-off green zone in protest. That was in response to the news that their leader is leaving politics.
