Hundreds Protest U.S. in Pakistan

HeadlineSep 28, 2011

Hundreds of people rallied in several towns in Pakistan on Tuesday to protest recent U.S. criticism of the Pakistani government. Last week, the nation’s top military chief, Admiral Mike Mullen, accused Pakistani intelligence of backing the Haqqani militant group that’s believed to have carried out the recent attack on the U.S. embassy in Kabul. A protest leader said the United States will face violence if it carries out more unilateral military action inside Pakistan.

Sirajul Haq: “We are announcing that we will turn the tribal areas and every inch of Pakistan into a graveyard for America. Hear this from us.”
