The announcement came as scuffles broke out Wednesday at an annual anti-government protest by the country’s Shiite community. Police used tear gas to disperse scores of protesters in and around the capital.
Majority Shiites accuse the country’s Sunni rulers of neglecting and marginalizing their community.
