Shouting “Down, Down USA!”, Hundreds of angry supporters of an Iraqi Shiite militia smashed security cameras on the wall around the US Embassy in Baghdad, pelted stones and set up protest tents there in revenge to deadly US airstrikes this week that killed 25 fighters of the Iran-backed militia in Iraq. The protesters tried to push inside the embassy grounds, hurling water bottles and smashing security cameras outside.
