Thousands of protesters surrounded the U.S. Embassy compound in Baghdad on December 31 in a protest over recent U.S. air strikes that killed at least 25 members of an Iran-backed militant group, Kataib Hizbullah, in Iran and Syria. Embassy staff and the U.S. ambassador were evacuated as protesters broke down a door and burned American flags. Video shot elsewhere in Baghdad shows thousands of protesters marching to join the crowds at the embassy.
