A Pakistani man has died after inhaling the fumes from a burning American flag as anti-American protests rage across the Middle East, according to the Daily Mail.
Abdullah Ismail died in Mayo hospital in Lahore having complained of feeling unwell during the angry demonstrations in the eastern Pakistan city yesterday.
Around 10,000 people are estimated to have taken part in the protest organised by the group Tehreek Hurmat-i-Rasool.
Demonstrators chanted anti-U.S. slogans before setting light to an American flag outside the U.S. Consulate.
The group that organized the protest, Tehreek-e-Hurmat-e-Rasool, appears to be the same group that orchestrated the Mumbai terrorist attacks in 2008, and a leader of Jamaat-ud-Dawa—the same organization, according to a Hindu Times report—spoke at the rally.
