Fiery protests in KL against Israel's deadly attack

Outraged Malaysians have gathered in two separate places to protest against the deadly attack on a Gaza-bound humanitarian aid flotilla which left up to 19 dead yesterday.

Under the watchful eyes of a unit of Light Strike Force personnel as well as 30 uniformed police and a police helicopter hovering above, about 200 protesters from mostly Malay- and Muslim-based NGOs burned and stepped on photos of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu outside the US embassy in Jalan Tun Razak.

Besides locals such as members of Malay Consultative Council (MPM), Malay-based NGO Perkasa and student group GPMS, there were also about 100 Palestinians taking part in the demonstration
