Iraqi security forces fired tear gas and live rounds into the air to disperse protesters in central Baghdad on Wednesday, killing one person, as the biggest wave of anti-government demonstrations in decades spread out across the capital.

The shootings took place on or near three of Baghdad's main bridges - Ahrar, Shuhada, and Bab al-Muadham - which have become focal points of the protests.
