44 MPs Resign, Deadly Clashes as Iraqi Army Dismantles Ramadi Protest Site
2013-12-31
[An Nahar] Iraqi security forces killed 10 gunnies in festivities that broke out in the Ramadi area as they tore down a year-old Sunni Arab anti-government protest camp on Monday.

As the fighting raged, mosques exhorted followers to "go to jihad," or holy war, while gunnies later replaced security forces on some streets in the city of Ramadi, near the protest site.

The violence, which came just days after a deadly raid on the home of a Sunni politician in Ramadi, threatens to escalate widespread anger among Iraq's Sunni Arab minority.
