  • Story Text: Anti-United States (U.S.) protesters in Pakistan have
    continued to voice their anger against the military strikes in
    Afghanistan.



    Hundreds of Taliban supporters held a demonstration in Rawalpindi, Pakistan on Sunday (October 21) to condemn the
    United States attacks on Afghanistan and show their
    solidarity with the Taliban and Osama bin Laden.

    The protesters chanted "Down with the USA" as they marched
    down a main street in Rawalpindi which has become a common
    stage for the almost daily demonstrations against the U.S.-led
    strikes.

    Protest rallies throughout Pakistan have been resilient in
    expressing solidarity with the Taliban and Saudi-born
    dissident Osama bin Laden since the air strikes began two
    weeks ago.

    Pakistani police stood guard in riot gear, but there were
    no violent incidents or arrests reported.

    The hard-line Islamic Taliban movement is under fire for
    refusing to hand over its "guest", Osama bin Laden, suspect
    number one behind the hijack attacks on New York and
    Washington on September 11.
