READ MORE: A protester was shot dead Tuesday in the Iraqi capital and dozens more were wounded across the country's south, where burning tires blocked highways and thick black smoke blanketed its restive cities.
The casualties in clashes with security forces were the latest episode of violence in the nearly two-month-old grassroots movement demanding the total overhaul of Iraq's political class.
At least 350 people have been killed and around 15,000 wounded since the protests broke out on October 1 in Baghdad and the Shi'ite-majority south.
