Burning hatred in Pakistan

A Pakistani man walks past burning buses at a terminal operated by South Korean company Sammi Corp. today in Peshawar, Pakistan. The buses were set on fire by angry mobs during a protest against the publication of cartoons depicting the Islamic prophet Muhammad. More than 70,000 people flooded the city streets and went on a rampage, torching businesses and fighting police. A KFC restaurant, three movie theaters and the offices of the country’s main mobile phone company were also burned. Three people died and dozens were injured during the third consecutive day of violent demonstrations in Pakistan.
