Riots over Cartoons

Pakistan riots turn deadly over the caricatures of the Muslim Prophet Mohammed. There are three confirmed dead, including a young boy, in the riots. A KFC restaurant, several buildings and a Daewoo Bus Terminal, that included 16 buses, were set on fire during the protest. Protesters burned the American and Danish flags; they also displayed signs of President Bush and Danish Prime Minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen as dogs. This is the 3rd day of rioting in Pakistan. The Pakistani Government has vowed to take care of the protesting with an iron hand, but until then I urge all Westerners to use extereme caution when traveling to these areas.
