Shafaq News/ Iraqi authorities have reportedly ramped up security at the entrances of Baghdad's ultra-secure Green Zone since the early hours of Sunday morning, a security source reported.

Access to the heavily fortified area downtown of the Iraqi capital city was limited to the holders of high-level security clearances, the source told Shafaq News Agency.

The motives of this decision are not immediately clear, said the source.
