At least three protesters and one policeman have been killed in Iraq's southern city of Nasiriyah, according to a monitoring group, after nationwide anti-government protests devolved into violence that saw security forces fire live rounds and tear gas for a second straight day.
The unrest on Wednesday came a day after at least two protesters - one in Baghdad and one in Nasiriyah - were killed and hundreds of people were wounded in clashes between police and protesters angry at unemployment, corruption and poor public services.
The nationwide rallies are the largest display of public anger against Prime Minister Adel Abdul Mahdi's year-old government. [...]
Authorities deployed counter-terrorism troops in Nasiriyah after police "lost control" when gun battles erupted between protesters and security forces, police sources told Reuters news agency. Curfews were later imposed in Nasiriyah and two other southern cities, Amara and Hilla, they added.
