Anti-U.S. protesters rage across Pakistan

Shops in Peshawar and most other cities were closed -- some in support of the strike but many fearing protesters if they were seen to be ignoring the call. Karachi, the commercial hub of Pakistan, was virtually a ghost town. An armoured personnel carrier, 14 police vans and five trucks of paramilitary rangers ringed the U.S. consulate. Some 15,000 police had been put on duty to maintain law and order in the city of 11 million. "The city looked lifeless," said one resident of sprawling industrial port city of Karachi.

Let's make that first link work:

Chief Saudi spy fired before attack: 25-year official failed to deliver bin Laden to U.S.

Saudi Arabia's King Fahd fired his intelligence chief for suspected ties to alleged Saudi terrorist Osama bin Laden, just days before hijacked U.S. airliners were flown into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.

Turki was Saudi Arabia's leading liaison to the Central Intelligence Agency in the U.S., European analysts told the digest.

What's up with this?
