Cartoon madness

At least 11 people have been killed and several injured in riots at the Italian consulate in the Libyan city of Benghazi, where rioters set fire to the consulate. Libya suspended its interior minister Saturday, citing an "excessive use of force." 5 people have been killed in Pakistan where police opened fire on a mob trying to set fire to buildings.

In Nigeria, Muslims have attacked Christians and burned churches, hotels, shops and vehicles, killing at least 16 people.
An Associated Press reporter saw mobs of Muslim protesters swarm through the city center with machetes, sticks and iron rods. One group threw a tire around a man, poured gas on him and set him ablaze.

Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi called for Minister Roberto Calderoli's resignation after he wore a T-Shirt showing the drawings.
