Lawyers protest Islam-insulting film, storm US Embassy district in Pakistan

Several hundred lawyers protesting an anti-Islam film produced in the United States have broken into an area in Pakistan's capital that houses the US Embassy and other foreign missions. Police stopped the demonstrators before they could reach the US Embassy, which is surrounded by another set of high walls and protected by security guards. Protesters chanted slogans such as: "Down With America" and "Whoever is a friend of America is a traitor" as they forced their way through a gate into the embassy complex. Wednesday's protest in Islamabad follows three days of violent demonstrations in other parts of Pakistan against the film, which ridicules Islam's Prophet Muhammad.
