Several thousand protesters attacked the US embassy in the Iraqi capital on Tuesday in anger at US air strikes that killed more than two dozen paramilitary fighters at the weekend.

They marched through checkpoints that usually restrict access to Baghdad's high-security Green Zone, chanting "Death to America," burning US flags and and holding posters calling for the embassy to be shut down.

They pulled security cameras off the wall as Iraqi security forces tried to keep them back.
