Thousands protest US drone attacks in Pakistan...


MORE than 10,000 Islamists held an anti-US protest in Pakistan's northwestern city of Peshawar on Sunday calling for an immediate stop to American drone attacks in tribal areas, police said.

The activists from the country's largest fundamentalist Islamic party Jamaat-i-Islami (JI) blocked a main road and staged a six-hour sit-in in front of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa provincial parliament.

The demonstrators chanted anti-US slogans and carried banners and placards reading 'Death for America", 'Stop drone attacks in Pakistan' and 'No to American interference in Pakistan'. More...
