Protesters in Iraq's capital Baghdad on Thursday stormed the Swedish embassy and set it on fire in protest against a planned burning of the Quran in Sweden. They clashed with security forces near the Swedish embassy.

A man said to be an Iraqi national tore up and burned a Quran outside Stockholm's central mosque during a demonstration authorized by the Swedish government on Wednesday.
