According to Sweden’s Channel 4, dozens of angry citizens of Baghdad attacked the Swedish embassy in Baghdad on Thursday (July 20) and set the embassy building on fire.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Sweden has said that the activity of the embassy of this country in Baghdad has been suspended.
Simultaneously with the attack of Baghdadi citizens on the Swedish embassy, the Swedish police have issued a permit for a rally in connection with this incident. It is likely that copies of the Quran and the Iraqi flag will be set on fire in this protest rally.
An attack by Iraqis on the Swedish embassy in Baghdad has taken place, while two weeks ago an Iraqi man set the Koran on fire in Stockholm after obtaining permission.
The Iraqi Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a statement strongly condemning the attack on the Swedish embassy in Baghdad and ordering the security authorities to conduct immediate investigations and take necessary security measures to identify the perpetrators of this incident.
After the burning of the Quran in Sweden, Islamic countries have shown widespread reactions, and the Taliban have stopped all Swedish activities in Afghanistan.
