India Deadly Clashes

At least three people have been killed in the southern Indian city of Bengaluru as police clashed with hundreds of Muslims who attacked a police station and set fire to vehicles during a protest over a Facebook post considered offensive to Islam, authorities said.

Senior police officer Kamal Pant said protesters burned public and police vehicles and attacked the house of a politician whose relative was accused of posting remarks reportedly involving the Prophet Mohammed. The post has since been deleted, he said.
