Sinopsis

Supporters of powerful Iraqi cleric Muqtada al-Sadr have stormed the Baghdad parliament for the second time in a week. The protesters again breached the high-security Green Zone in the capital, as they oppose the nomination of a pro-Iran rival candidate for prime minister. Over 120 people were injured in the latest unrest over the weekend.  Sadr's block won the most seats last October, but it is not in power due to a political deadlock. KAN's Mark Weiss spoke with Iraqi specialist  Dr Ronen Zeidel from Tel Aviv university’s Moshe Dayan Center about the unrest in Iraq.
