Snippet:
This weekend’s images of armed and masked men roaming the streets of Baghdad are scenes that many Iraqis hoped had been relegated to the past. Yet this was not a terrorist attack or a militia operation. Amid gunfire on Saturday and Sunday, elite anti-terrorism soldiers raided addresses in the capital’s Green Zone, detaining dozens of current and former officials on an anti-corruption drive.
