Deadly Anti-Government Violence Grips Iraq -- Al Jazeera
Thousands of Sunnis renew protests against prime minister's rule, as death toll passes 190 in four-day wave of violence.
Sectarian tensions have escalated in Iraq, where the death toll from a four-day wave of violence has passed 190, officials have said.
Thousands of protesters gathered in cities across the country this week to voice their anger at the government of Nouri al-Maliki, calling on the prime minister to step down and an end to the discrimination against Sunnis.
Martin Kobler, a UN envoy, warned on Friday that Iraq was at "crossroads" and called for restraint as violence continues.
The comments came as bombings at four Sunni mosques in and around Baghdad killed four people and wounded 50 on Friday, according to an interior ministry official and medics.
