In Stockholm, Salwan Momika, a 37-year-old Iraqi refugee in Sweden, desecrates a copy of the Koran at a protest he organised, dropping it to the ground, trampling on it and using it as a football (images that AFP chose not to broadcast.) He initially intended to burn the book, which in the end did not happen. Footage also shows a counter-demonstration held at a distance by barriers. Following the developments, Iraq ordered the expulsion of the Swedish ambassador in Baghdad, a move that also led to an assault on the Swedish embassy in Baghdad, which was set on fire by demonstrators.
