Italian consulate burned in Libya, deaths reported

TRIPOLI, Libya (AP) - There's been more deadly violence today, as outrage over cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad continues in the Muslim world.

Security officials in Libya say Libyans protesting the cartoons set fire to the Italian consulate in Benghazi, in a riot that left eleven people dead or wounded. An Italian consular official says nine protesters were killed and several more wounded, as armed police clashed with a crowd of more than one-thousand demonstrators.

Earlier today, in Pakistan, a prayer leader placed a bounty on the head of those responsible for the controversial cartoons that first ran in Danish newspapers. The leader says a mosque and religious school will give a $25,000 reward and a car for killing the cartoonist who drew the prophet caricatures. He also says a jewelers association will give a million-dollar reward.

Meanwhile in Iraq, demonstrators have been in the street protesting the cartoons chanting "No, no to America" and "Yes to the beloved Allah." Others have been burning U.S. and Danish flags.
