In Iraq, demonstrators torched the main government building in the southern city of Basra Wednesday, as protests over corruption, power outages and rampant unemployment continued for a third straight day. The protesters also say Basra’s water supply is heavily polluted, charging more than 20,000 people have been hospitalized from the contamination. At least one person was killed Wednesday after Iraqi forces fired live rounds into crowds; a day earlier, five people were shot and killed.
