Iraq's Hashd Shaabi calls its protesters near U.S. embassy in Baghdad to withdraw


(MENAFN- Jordan News Agency) Baghdad, Jan. 1 (Petra)-- The Iraqi paramilitary Hashd Shaabi forces called Wednesday on protesters who stormed the U.S. embassy in Baghdad to withdraw, a Hashd Shaabi statement said.
The statement attributed the withdrawal to the respect of the Iraqi government call, which ordered the withdrawal earlier in order to preserve the prestige of the state.
The Hashd Shaabi "tells the masses who are there (at the U.S. embassy) that your message has arrived," according to the statement.
