Police and demonstrators clash in 'cartoons' protest
Police attacked stone-throwing protesters with batons and fired tear gas in the north-western city of Peshawar today – Pakistan’s third consecutive day of violent protests over the Prophet Muhammad cartoons, witnesses said.
As police battled protesters in Peshawar, another violent demonstration erupted about 230 kilometres away in the town of Tank, where 2,000 people rallied, said Attiq Wazir, a police official in the town.
