Gunshots and rocket-fire rang out as supporters of Shia Muslim cleric Moqtada al-Sadr clashed with security forces and militias aligned with Iran.

Mr Sadr has ordered his supporters to withdraw from outside parliament, where they have been protesting for weeks.

On Tuesday Mr Sadr apologised to the Iraqi people for the violence and instructed his supporters to leave their protests.

"This is not a revolution because it has lost its peaceful character," he said in a televised address. "The spilling of Iraqi blood is forbidden."
