Pakistan buries those killed during anti-Islam film protest
- 12 years ago
Reflecting in Pakistan --- a day after 15 people were killed in protests against the film "Innocence of Muslims."
Funeral services like this one took place throughout the country --- the fallout from a day which had been declared "Love the Prophet Day."
SOUNDBITE: Mohammad Waseeh Khan saying (Urdu):
"This is a loss for the country as well as for the people. Everything that has been destroyed belonged to us. We have done harm to ourselves."
Demonstrators set fire to several buildings, including movie theaters and a bank and ransacked shops. Many expressed regret and frustration over the damage caused by the unrest.
Law enforcement were prepared for another round of protests on Saturday, setting up even more barriers on the road leading into the U.S. embassy.
