Iraqi protesters attempt to break into Green Zone

BAGHDAD, March 1 (KUNA) -- Protesters gathered at the entrance of the heavily fortified Green Zone - the seat of the Iraqi central government and the US Embassy, in Baghdad on Sunday morning in an attempt to break into the embassy.
They were driven by reports of the death of Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in an attack on Tehran yesterday.
The Iraq security forces used water cannons to disperse the protesters. (end) ahh.gb
