Thousands rally in Pakistan against Israel’s bombing in Gaza, chanting anti-American slogans

ISLAMABAD (AP) — Thousands of supporters of Pakistan’s main politico-religious party have rallied in the capital, Islamabad, against Israel’s bombing of Palestinians in Gaza, chanting anti-American slogans that accused the U.S. of “backing the aggressor.” The extreme right party, Jamaat-e-Islami, planned to march to the U.S. embassy in the high-security diplomatic enclave, but changed its plan after the police detained the local leadership and many supporters. The US embassy issued an advisory for American citizens living in Islamabad and the surrounding area to “limit unnecessary travel on Sunday” and to avoid areas where large gatherings could take place.
