Update on the Karachi consulate situation, it was indeed the USMC that opened fire on a hostile Shia mob trying to break in. In the second video an armed protestor is seen firing at US forces. At least 10 deaths in Karachi and 21-38 in the whole off Pakistan. Continues to amaze how cheap life is in these third world countries, not a protest goes by without at least a few dead bodies and noone even blinks. Per comparison: the current Israeli death toll stands at 9.Pakistani Shia protestors stormed the US consulate in Karachi, breached the perimeter and set the guardhouse on fire. After they attempted reach the main consulate building at least 6-8 were shot and killed. The shooters are either Pakistani security forces or US guards.
In Baghdad large mobs are trying to reach the US Embassy as well. For now they are blocked from reaching the building by the Iraqi police, live fire is reported
