Protesters in Karbala say students are gathering to demonstrate again today despite a night of violence

 

 

At least 18 people were killed and 865 wounded in the Iraqi city of Karbala over Monday night when protesters came under attack.

Demonstrations turned violent outside the governorate's council office about 10pm local time.

Riot police and paramilitary units arrived and opened fire, protester Samir told The National.
