For the second time in less than a week, anti-government protesters set fire to the Iranian consulate in Najaf.

Anti-government protesters in Iraq on Sunday set fire to the Iranian consulate in the restive city of Najaf for the second time in less than a week, RadioFreeEurope reported, citing police in the mostly Shiite city.

The incident came as Iraqis continue taking to the streets of Baghdad and Iraq's Shiite-majority south to demand more jobs, an end to endemic corruption, and improved public services.

Earlier in November, the Iranian Consulate in the mainly Shiite city of Karbala was targeted by protesters.

Iraq's Foreign Ministry said the earlier attacks on Iranian diplomatic buildings were "aimed at damaging the historical relations between Iraq and Iran."
