Iraqi forces raid Baghdad's Green Zone amid arrest reports

BAGHDAD — Iraqi security forces deployed in Baghdad’s fortified Green Zone early Sunday with the raid targeting “several politicians”, a security official told AFP.

The Green Zone houses the US embassy and other diplomatic missions, as well as international institutions and government offices. High-ranking officials and politicians also live there.
