The Associated Press reported it appears Friday’s demonstration was the largest rally in the past two weeks in Iraq.
Thousands of Iraqis took to the streets after noon prayers despite the intense security conditions, gathering outside Baghdad’s Abu Hanafiya mosque, AP added.
Demonstrators outside the mosque chanted, “Iran, out, out” and “Nouri Maliki is a liar”, referring to Iran’s meddling in Iraq.
