Hundreds of protesters on 22 July attempted to storm Baghdad's Green Zone, a heavily fortified area housing foreign embassies and Iraqi government offices, after a copy of the Koran had been allegedly burned the previous day in the Danish capital Copenhagen by an ultranationalist group. The incident came two days after demonstrators angered by the planned burning of the Islamic holy book in Sweden stormed the Swedish embassy in Baghdad. (Photo by Ahmed Jalil/EPA)
