    Updated at 1:10 p.m. ET: ISLAMABAD, Pakistan -- Protests by tens of thousands of Pakistanis infuriated by an anti-Islam film descended into deadly violence on Friday, with police firing tear gas and live ammunition in an attempt to subdue rioters who hurled rocks and set fire to buildings in some cities.

    NBC News reported that 12 people died in Karachi with another three dead in Peshawar during the protests. More than 100 people were injured.

    Friday had been declared a national holiday by Pakistan's government so people could rally against the video.

    There were also protests in at least half a dozen other countries, with American flags and effigies of President Barack Obama burned.
