Anti-U.S. Protests Spread in Afghanistan and Pakistan - New York Times:

"May 12 -Anti-American violence spread across Afghanistan and into Pakistan today in the third day of demonstrations and clashes with the police. A provincial office of CARE International was ransacked and four protesters were killed in a continuation of the most widespread protests against the American presence since the fall of the Taliban regime more than three years ago.

In the bloodiest single incident, the police fired on hundreds of tribesmen from Khogiani, a district in eastern Afghanistan, who were attempting to march in protest on Jalalabad, the town where 4 died and 60 were wounded on Wednesday. The police had blocked the tribesmen, many of whom were armed, 20 miles from the city and were ordered to fire into the air to disperse the crowd, said Fazel Muhammad Ibrahimi, the director of health in the province."
