Civil unrest in Iraq

According to reports, Iraqi protestors set fire to the Iranian embassy, or a fence surrounding it in Najaf, Iraq on Wednesday, thought not to be significant in the sequence of events, the burning of many fires in the streets and anarchy. Protestors are believed to be nationalists opposed to foreign powers. Stores adjoining the as called green zone, otherwise was known as the international zone, are reported to only sporadically open; the area being dangerous. Hundreds were reported to have died and many more injured since early October.
The war in Iraq is said to have left a large part of the population jobless and destitute.
