Violent Protests Erupt at Swedish Embassy in Baghdad over Quran Burning

Protesters in Baghdad, Iraq, stormed the Swedish embassy in response to the burning of copies of the Quran in Sweden. The embassy was set on fire, but all staff members were reported to be safe. The Swedish foreign ministry condemned the attack and called on Iraqi authorities to protect diplomatic missions. The Iraqi government has launched an investigation into the incident and vowed to hold the perpetrators accountable. The protest was organized by supporters of influential Iraqi Shia leader Muqtada al-Sadr, who called for an end to Quran burnings. This comes after a similar incident in Sweden where a copy of the Quran was burned, leading to protests and the storming of the Swedish embassy in Baghdad.
