AFP photographer wounded in Charlie Hebdo clashes in Karachi - police

A photographer with French news agency AFP was wounded in Pakistan on Friday after being shot during clashes against the satirical weekly Charlie Hebdo outside the French consulate in the port city of Karachi, police said.

"AFP photographer Asif Hasan suffered wounds resulting from gunshots fired by ... protesters, police have not opened fire," Abdul Khalique Shaikh, a senior police officer in southern Karachi, told Reuters.

A Reuters photographer at the scene said that many protesters appeared to be armed.

About 200 protesters clashed on Friday with Pakistan police outside the French consulate in the southern city of Karachi after a demonstration against the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo turned violent.

A Reuters journalist said protesters stoned police and fired shots after security forces used water cannon and tear gas.
