IRAQ - Al Sadr supporters storm Green Zone and parliament
Hundreds of supporters of Shi'ite Muslim cleric Moqtada al-Sadr stormed Baghdad's Green Zone on Saturday and some entered the Iraqi parliament in protest at MPs' failure to convene for a vote on overhauling the government.
Loyalists to Sadr, whose fighters once controlled swathes of Iraq's capital, have been demonstrating for weeks at the gates of the heavily-fortified district housing government buildings and foreign embassies.
