In Baghdad, gunmen killed 25 people near Khalani Square. About 105 people were wounded in a second day of direct attacks on Baghdad demonstrators. Apparently, several may have been killed at a building overlooking the protests. Demonstrators had been camped in the uninhabited building for weeks, when armed men in pick-up trucks arrived to forcibly evict the demonstrators from the building. Separately, a photographer was kidnapped after covering the protest at Tahrir Square.
