Lebanon clashes over Islam film, pope visit

Angry crowds gather after Friday prayers in the Lebanese city of Tripoli.

They are part of a wave of anti-American sentiment sweeping the Middle East over a U.S.-made film believed to be blasphemous to Islam.

The protest coincides with a three day visit to Lebanon by the pope.

Posters welcoming the pontiff were torn down.

This crowd set about burning fast food outlets.

As symbols of America, Hardees and KFC bore the brunt of the outrage.

Security sources say a man died elsewhere in Tripoli as protesters tried to storm a government building.
