‘Unidentified snipers’ kill 4 in Baghdad on fourth day of anti-gov’t protests, total deaths 44; witness says Iranians shot at protestors
[PUBLISH.TWITTER] Iraqi security forces said “unidentified snipers” killed four people across the capital Baghdad on Friday, the fourth day of violent anti-government protests.

A statement said the four were two members of the security forces and two civilians, bringing the death toll since protests began on Tuesday to 44, including six security forces.

Security forces opened fire directly at hundreds of anti-government demonstrators Friday in central Baghdad, killing at least 10 protesters and injuring dozens, hours after Iraq’s top Shiite cleric warned both sides to end four days of violence “before it’s too late.”

Iraqi protestor says that the forces shooting at Iraqi demonstrators were ‘Farsi-speaking Iranians
