Sweden's foreign minister has condemned Wednesday's attack on its embassy in Baghdad.

Hundreds of protesters stormed the diplomatic building in the Iraqi capital and set it on fire.

There has been anger after police in Stockholm approved a planned Quran burning, just weeks after an Iraqi refugee burned the holy book of Islam in Sweden.
