Protestors in Baghdad have descended on the Swedish embassy following the burning of a Quran outside a Stockholm mosque. The Quran burning was performed by Salwan Momika, an native Iraqi, after the Swedish police deemed there to be not enough reason to justify banning the protest. As a response, hundreds of Baghdad residents turned protestor themselves, storming the embassy, climbing the walls and raising Iraqi flags on its roof. It is unclear what the current situation at the embassy is, however the Swedish embassy have told the media that everyone is safe. The protestors, acting on the orders of Shia cleric Muqtada al-Sadr, are demanding the removal of the Swedish ambassador over the Quran burning.
