Thousands in Pakistan rally against American

Devout Islamics rallied on Sunday against the arrested American official charged with shooting two Pakistanis. Over 15,000 Islamics were at the town of Lahore, in the North Eastern part of Pakistan. The controversy comes because the U.S embassy claims that they have immunity from the action of the U.S official but the Pakistanis insist that the matter must be taken to the courts. Because of the influence that these Islamic people have in Pakistan, American officials believe that it will be hard to free the detained American. American officials claim that the "not named" official acted in self defense when he shot the two Pakistanis on Thursday. The Islamic group that protested on Sunday is believed to be behind the 2008 bombings on Moonbi, India.
