Peshawar: Pakistani officials have said that at least 15 people have been killed and more than 160 wounded in clashes between police and people protesting a film that denigrates Prophet Muhammad.
Officials at two different hospitals, Seemi Jamali and Aftab Channar, said 12 were killed and 82 wounded Friday in the southern port city of Karachi.
In the northwest city of Peshawar, police official Bashir Khan told the wire service that three people were killed and 61 were wounded.
Television journalists on the scene said police opened fire with live rounds as mobs torched two movie houses. A driver for the ARY TV network was fatally shot in the chest, the network said. Police said two protesters also were killed in the city, a provincial capital that is the frequent target of militant bombings.
