Protesters, police clash near US embassy in Baghdad: AFP

Angry Iraqi protesters clashed Saturday evening with security forces near the U.S. embassy in Baghdad, AFP journalists said.

Protesters tried to storm Baghdad's Green Zone, where the U.S. embassy is located, but security forces used tear gas to disperse them. It was their second attempt Saturday to enter the area.

The U.S. embassy had warned earlier that demonstrations near its compound "may turn violent."
