Prophet film sparks protests

Chris Stevens, the American ambassador to Libya and three embassy staff were killed in an attack on the Benghazi consulate that was stormed by gunmen blaming America for a film they said insulted the Prophet Mohammad. On Wednesday Libyan demonstrators gathered to condemn the deaths of the American embassy members.

The film made by an Israeli-American has been widely criticized in Egypt and Libya where hundreds of people gathered in protest.

A statement issued by Pakistan’s foreign ministry said that the film would provoke hatred and hurt the people of Pakistan.
