Four more cartoon deaders
Appeals for calm in the furore over cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad (PTUI peace be upon him) went unheeded Wednesday as police shot dead four more protestors during rioting in Afghanistan, bringing the worldwide death toll to 13. Eleven demonstrators have been killed since Friday in Afghanistan, and one each in Somalia and Lebanon.

About 400 Afghan protestors hurled stones as they tried to storm the police headquarters in Qalat, the capital of Zabul province, before moving to a US military base where they torched four fuel tankers, witnesses and an army commander said. A provincial official said police had opened fire to control the crowd while witnesses said coalition troops had fired into the air.
