Thousands of Libyans have staged a rally in the eastern city of Benghazi in support of democracy and against Islamist militias. Protesters urged the Libyan government to ban the militias which refused to give up their weapons since the uprising against Colonel Gaddafi last year. They demanded that the army and police be strengthened and paid tribute to the US ambassador killed last week in the city. A rival demonstration by Islamist militias who have been blamed for the ambassador's death attracted far fewer people.

数千名利比亚人在东部城市班加西举行集会，支持民主，反对伊斯兰民兵。自从去年反对卡扎菲上校的起义开始以来，民兵组织一直拒绝上交武器，因此抗议者敦促政府对民兵颁布禁令。他们要求强化军队和警察，并向上周在该市被杀的美国大使表示哀悼。伊斯兰民兵被指控杀死了大使，他们也举行了游行表示反对，但吸引的人很少。

A day of violent protest across major cities in Pakistan has left at least 19 people dead as thousands demonstrators against an anti-Islamic video made in the United States. In Karachi, police clashed with rioters as they set fire to banks and cinemas. In Islamabad, police fired tear gas to prevent thousands of demonstrators from getting close to the American embassy. At a news conference in Washington, the US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton again condemned the video. The visiting Pakistani Foreign Minister Hina Rabbani Khar thanked Mrs. Clinton.
