    Where are you reading that people were inside the embassy when it was burnt?

    Sweden’s embassy staff in Baghdad are all safe amid protests outside of the building, the foreign ministry’s press office told CNN via email.

      Thank you for the update! I read an earlier version from an Iraqi source where they simply stated that the embassy was burnt and the location of diplomatic staff was unknown and a few were unaccounted for.

      I guess that’s a major fall through with breaking news.
