KARACHI, March 1, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - At least 17 people were killed Sunday across Pakistan as protesters outraged over the death of Iran's supreme leader took to the streets, with some attempting to storm US diplomatic buildings. Israel and the United States launched their mass aerial campaign on Iran early Saturday, quickly killing the long-ruling supreme leader and prompting outrage in neighouring Pakistan. At Sunday's Karachi protest, people chanted slogans against the United States, Israel and their allies. "We don't need anything in Pakistan that is linked with the US," a protester, Sabir Hussain, told AFP. The embassies of the United States and Britain both urged citizens in Pakistan to be cautious in the country.
