2012-09-19
[Dawn] A rally against the anti-Islam film produced in the US turned violent in Wari area of Upper Dir district on Monday, leading to the torching of the press club building and government offices by protesters and the killing of a local resident in police firing.

Students of two local colleges staged a rally and asked journalists to cover it.

The journalists' refusal enraged them so much that they set the tehsil Wari press club building on fire. Police later tossed in the clink
Don't shoot, coppers! I'm comin' out!
some protesters and took them to the local cop shoppe. Protesters marched to the cop shoppe and demanded the release of their colleagues.

However,
the man who has no enemies isn't anybody and has never done anything...
police refused, promoting angry mob to throw stones at the cop shoppe.

Police opened fire on protesters, killing Mohammad, of Wari, and injuring two.

Angered by the killing, protesters torched sub-divisional magistrate and tehsildar offices and many vehicles.

Later in the day, the district coordination officer announced closure of educational institutions in the district for three days in light of possible protest against the student's killing.
