At least 22 killed and more than 120 wounded in Pakistan as protesters try to storm US Consulate
KARACHI, Pakistan (AP) — Violent clashes between protesters and security forces in Pakistan's port city of Karachi and in the country's north on Sunday left at least 22 people dead and more than 120 others injured as pro-Iran demonstrators attempted to storm the U.S. Consulate, authorities said.
In the north of the country, demonstrators also attacked U.N. and government offices.
The violence came after the United States and Israel attacked Iran, killing its Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Police and officials at a hospital in Karachi said that at least 50 people were also wounded in the clashes and some of them were in critical condition.
President Asif Ali Zardari expressed his “profound sorrow over the martyrdom" of Khamenei” and conveyed his condolences to Iran, according to his office. He said: “Pakistan stands with the Iranian nation in this moment of grief and shares in their loss.”
