Crowds outraged at Tehran's political influence in Iraq had stormed and burned down the mission, yelling "Victory to Iraq!" But by the afternoon, following the bloody crackdown in the restive southern city of Nasiriyah, the premier had already sacked one commander, General Jamil Shummary. More than 200 people were also wounded as security forces cleared sit-ins with live fire, medics and security sources said. Demonstrators, dispersed by security forces, regrouped at Nasiriyah's main police station, setting it on fire. In the oil-rich port city of Basra, most government offices reopened but schools remained closed as security forces deployed in the streets.
