Stone-throwing demonstrators attack Iranian Embassy in Sweden

Protesters attack Iranian embassy in Sweden

STOCKHOLM — Demonstrators attacked the Iranian Embassy outside the Swedish capital Friday, throwing stones and trying to force themselves in, police said.

About 150 protesters, some masked, rushed the embassy gates, but it was not immediately clear if any managed to get inside the building, police said.

“It was chaotic out there,” police officer Jan Hedlund told Swedish news agency TT. “We’re trying to get organized and see what happens. Right now it’s quiet.”

There have been several peaceful demonstrations in recent days outside the embassy.
