Four people have died in violent protests against cartoons satirising the Prophet Muhammad, following more than a week of demonstrations. Three people died after police in Afghanistan fired on protesters when a police station came under attack, a government spokesman said.
In Somalia, a 14-year-old boy was shot dead and several others were injured after protesters attacked the police.
Further protests have been taking place from Gaza to India, Indonesia and Iran.
They follow attacks on Danish embassies in Syria and Lebanon over the weekend. The cartoons were first published in a Danish newspaper.
Monday's deaths were thought to be the first, but officials in Lebanon have now confirmed that a demonstrator died on Sunday after jumping from the third floor of the Danish embassy in Beirut to escape a fire.

Yep.
No mention of the fact that THE PROTESTERS ARE THE ONES WHO STARTED THE FIRE!

I can be such a horrible monster at times, but I did have a giggle over that self inflicted removal.... They are not very good protestors as they seem to kill each other more effectively....
