Crowd tries to attack US Consulate in Pakistan
AP - 1 hour 42 minutes ago
KARACHI, Pakistan - Police say a crowd tried to attack the U.S. Consulate building in the southern Pakistani city of Karachi during an anti-Israel protest, but security forces managed to repel them.
Police say they fired tear gas shells and baton charged the crowd, forcing it to disperse.
Pakistan has witnessed several protests against Israel due to its strikes on the Gaza Strip.
Police official Ameer Sheikh says that during Sunday's protest, hundreds began marching toward the consulate. He says some were carrying bricks and sticks.
Roads to the consulate building were blocked off. But the crowd managed to shove aside some metal barriers several hundred meters away.
U.S. officials did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
