A medical source said around 30 people were wounded Sunday in Khallani. According to Al Jazeera, the security forces have been deliberately attacking the medics who are trying to provide medical aid to the injured protesters.
The clashes wounded scores more people and put security forces back in control of all except one major bridge linking the Iraqi capital's eastern residential and business districts to government headquarters across the Tigris river. The two sources stated in condition of secrecy.
The officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity in line with regulations, say three protesters were shot dead while the fourth was killed by a tear gas canister that hit him in the head.

Security forces also fired tear gas at demonstrators in Baghdad injuring more than 20 people, a day after they pushed protests back toward one main square in the Iraqi capital.
