Bahrain Mirror (Reuters): Iraq's powerful Shi'ite Muslim cleric Moqtada al-Sadr expressed support for protesters who stormed into Baghdad's Green Zone on Friday and condemned security forces' use of force against them.
"I respect your choice and your peaceful spontaneous revolt," Sadr said in a statement. "Curse the government that kills its children in cold blood."
Witnesses said earlier that dozens of people were wounded when the security forces fired tear gas and bullets at the protesters.
