(18 Sep 2012) There were further protests in the southern Pakistani city of Karachi on Tuesday over an anti-Islam video that has unleashed deadly violence and anger at the United States across the Muslim world.
Hundreds of supporters of the Sunni Tehreek organisation marched through the streets, carrying banners and placards and chanting anti-US slogans.
Those protesting demanded that action is taken against the producer of the film.
One of the organisers also called for US ambassadors to be expelled from Muslim countries.
"We demand that the Pakistani government and all other Muslim countries expel US ambassadors from their countries. This appeal is not only to Pakistani rulers but to all rulers of Islamic countries as well as the Organisation of Islamic Countries (OIC)," said Sarwat Aijaz Qadri, Sunni Tehreek chief.
It was the third consecutive day of anti-US rallies in Karachi, in the wake of the low budget film - which portrays the Prophet Muhammad as a fraud, a womaniser and a child molester.
Meanwhile on Tuesday, hundreds of angry protesters broke through a barricade outside the US Consulate in the northwest city of Peshawar.
Demonstrators threw bricks and flaming wads of cloth at the police, who pushed them back by firing tear gas and rubber bullets and charging with batons.
Several were wounded on both sides.
The protest was organised by the youth wing of the hardline Jamaat-e-Islami party.
Pakistanis have also held many peaceful protests.
