Iraqis storm their embassy in Iran
2003-04-11
Around 200 Iraqis have stormed their embassy in the Iranian capital and smashed photographs of Saddam Hussein. "No Saddam! No US puppet regime! We want freedom," the crowd chanted. Police say no Iraqi diplomats have been in the building since Thursday. Windows and furniture were also vandalised, and the only item spared seemed to be embassy documents, which people in the crowd were seen taking away. There are about 200,000 Iraqis living in Iran, many of them Shiite Muslims who fled after a failed Shiite uprising against Saddam in 1991. Tens of thousands of the Iraqis in Iran live in the capital.
