Angry relatives of missing Iraqi security personnel stormed the parliament building in Baghdad on Tuesday, attacked MPs and began a sit-in in its main chamber, an official said.

Anti-riot police were trying to force out the hundreds of protesters, who were demanding to know the fate of relatives who surrendered to jihadists in June, said the official, who was present at parliament.
