A group of Iraqi citizens also gathered in front of the gates of Baghdad's Green Zone on Saturday morning to protest against the desecration of the Qur'an and their country's flag.
A large number of Iraqis said to be supporters of Sadr tried to enter the Green Zone to attack the Danish embassy in Baghdad, but the police stopped them.
