9 killed in protests outside US Consulate in Pakistan

KARACHI, Pakistan/BAGHDAD — At least nine protesters were shot and killed when crowds breached the outer wall of the US Consulate in the Pakistani city of Karachi, following news of US and Israeli strikes on Iran that killed Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.

"Death to Israel, death to America," the protesters shouted.

Meanwhile in Iraq, police fired tear gas and stun grenades to scatter hundreds of pro-Iranian protesters who had gathered outside the Green Zone in the capital Baghdad, where the US embassy is located.
