Several deaths are reported after security forces fired on protesters in Mosul and Haweija, as thousands marched across Iraq in a national "day of rage."

Protests were held in towns and cities across Iraq Feb. 25, with marchers filling Baghdad's Tahrir Square in a national "day of rage." In Mosul, three were killed when security forces fired on the crowd. Four were also killed in clashes between protesters and security forces in Haweija, a town north of Kirkuk.
