Platinum Contributing Member steve from amherst Posted April 16, 2018 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted April 16, 2018 Demonstrators gathered in major cities across Iraq on Sunday to protest U.S.-led airstrikes against Syria in protests called for by Muqtada Sadr, the influential Shiite cleric who led the Mehdi Army that fought U.S. forces after the toppling of Saddam Hussein's regime in 2003. The demonstrations took place in Baghdad, Basra and Najaf. Protesters "raised Iraqi and Syrian flag in solidarity with Syrian people. They also chanted against the U.S. and its allies," according to Iraqi News. U.S. and Israeli flags were also burned by protesters. Iraq's foreign ministry also warned that the strikes against Syria marked "a very dangerous development." "Such action could have dangerous consequences, threatening the security and stability of the region and giving terrorism another opportunity to expand after it was ousted from Iraq and forced into Syria to retreat to a large extent," the ministry said in a statement quoted by Al Jazeera.
