Nine members of the Iraqi security forces have been
wounded in a grenade attack at the central bank checkpoint in Baghdad, reported
Iraqi TV on Wednesday.
Baghdad Operations Command said that nine of its
officers had been injured in the attack, according to Iraqi TV.
The central bank is close to the center of Iraq's
capital city, which has been the site of recurring protests since the beginning
of October.
The demonstrations prompted the resignation of Prime
Minister Adil Abdul Mahdi last week. Politicians have since been discussing the
formation of a new government as unrest continues in the capital and the south
of the country.
