19/03/2011 - Anti-US demonstrators rallied in cities across the country, including Islamabad, Lahore and Karachi.
More than 3,000 people gathered outside the Red Mosque in the capital, shouting "death to America" and burning the American flag.
The protesters expressed their anger over a US missile strike in the north-west of the country on Thursday.
Local tribal elders say the victims of the botched air raid were community leaders and police attending an outdoor meeting in North Waziristan.
The US closed its embassy and several consulates in Pakistan yesterday because of fears of violence.
Tension has also increased following the release of a CIA contractor accused of killing two Pakistani men.
Raymond Davis was pardoned earlier this week after compensation was paid to the families of the victims.
