From the disgusting Luke Harding.
Protesters
in Iraq have dealt a symbolic blow to US prestige after they stormed
the American embassy compound in Baghdad, trapping diplomats inside
while chanting “death to America” and slogans in support of
pro-Iranian militias.
In
a humiliating day for Washington, hundreds of supporters of Iraqi
Shia militia, many wearing military fatigues, besieged the US
compound, at one point breaching the main gate and smashing their way
into several reception rooms. They lit fires, battered down doors,
and threw bricks at bulletproof glass.
The
rampage was carried out with the apparent connivance of Iraqi
security forces who allowed protesters inside the highly protected
Green Zone.
Demonstrators
made their way to the embassy, climbing walls and hurling stones,
while US guards responded with teargas but did not open fire.
The Daily Mail knows within minutes that the Iranians dunnit.
