Shafaq News/ Iraqi security forces surrounded the Syrian Embassy in Baghdad’s Al-Mansour district on Thursday evening in a precautionary move, the second such measure in two days.

A security source told Shafaq News Agency that Law Enforcement Forces were deployed to secure the embassy building and its surroundings following intelligence reports suggesting that groups were planning to stage a protest outside the mission.

"The security reinforcement was implemented to prevent any potential incidents," the source said.
