Two more Iraqi protesters killed in renewed clashes in Karbala
Demonstrators are seen at the place where tents were burned overnight Tuesday during ongoing anti-government protests in Basra.
Tens of thousands of people have taken to the streets in recent weeks in the capital, Baghdad, and across the Shia south, demanding sweeping political change. In Karbala, protesters attacked the Iranian consulate earlier this week, hurling firebombs over its walls. The US Embassy in Baghdad issued a statement calling on the government to "engage seriously and urgently with Iraqi citizens who are demanding reform".
