In Baghdad, pro-militia groups joined protesters at Tahrir Square. It is unclear whether the group was sincerely joining the demonstration or if they were infiltrating it as witnesses claim. At least 25 people were stabbed, but no deaths were reported.

A old bomb killed a man and wounded his brother while they were digging a well in Nasr.

Mortars struck the air base at Balad, where U.S. troops are hosted. On Tuesday, the Ain al-Asad base in Anbar province came under rockets attack. U.S. forces are also present at that base.
