Protesters enraged by plans to burn a copy of the Quran in Sweden have stormed the country's embassy in Baghdad, mounting the walls and lighting a small fire in the compound.
Video footage showed Iraqis waving flags and carrying signs of the influential Shia cleric Muqtada al-Sadr as they advanced on the compound on Wednesday night.
At one point they tried to break through an entrance and lit a fire in the embassy complex.
