Thousands rally against U.S. in Pakistan

Advertisements [?]

INAYAT QALA, Pakistan - Thousands of angry Pakistanis protested Sunday against a U.S. airstrike that killed civilians, chanting "Long live Osama bin Laden!" as anti-American rallies in the country entered their second week.

About 5,000 demonstrators assembled on a dry riverbed in a mountain market town near the site of the Jan. 13 attack. Shouting pro-bin Laden, anti-American slogans, they burned effigies of U.S. President George W. Bush.

The rally was the latest in a series of protests over the missile strike on the village of Damadola, near the border, which was believed to have targeted but missed al-Qaida's No. 2 leader, Ayman al-Zawahri.
