Drone Hits Iraq Cleric's Home as Tensions Rise After Baghdad Attack

Agence France-Presse

   BAGHDAD - An armed drone targeted the home of Iraqi cleric Moqtada Sadr
   on Saturday, hours after his supporters deployed in Baghdad in response
   to an attack that left 17 protesters dead.

   The developments marked a worrying turn for the anti-government
   protests rocking Iraq since October, the country's largest and
   deadliest grassroots movement in decades.

   The mostly young protesters in the capital's iconic Tahrir Square had
   long feared a spiral into chaos, and on Friday it appeared their
   apprehensions were well-placed.
