(IraqiNews.com) Baghdad – On Sunday the Iraqi Cleric Muqtada al-Sadr entered the Green Zone in the center of Baghdad, which includes many government offices, as well as the parliament, American and British embassies.
Sadr said in a statement, “”Today we are at the entrance of the Green Zone and tomorrow we will be within it.”
