Protesters breached the Swedish Embassy in Baghdad on Thursday, June 29, after a Quran was burned in Stockholm the day before. Footage from Rudaw shows protesters climbing over a wall, and gathered inside the compound in Baghdad. Salwan Momika, who carried out the burning in Stockholm and posted videos of it, was given a police permit for free-speech reasons, Aftonbladet reported. He was reported to be from Iraq originally.
