Indonesian students burn flag, calling US terrorists
Scores of Muslim students have protested and burnt an American flag near the consulate in Indonesia's second-largest city, Surabaya, warning the U-S not to carry out revenge strikes on Afghanistan.
Riot police were called in to stop the group of around 40 students from entering the consulate in the East Java capital.
The protest comes amid growing threats by hardline Islamic groups in the world's largest Muslim nation to launch a holy war against the United States.
Earlier today, in Jakarta, about 200 Muslim women - wearing veils and carrying red roses - prayed near the capital's bustling main thoroughfare in a peaceful rally to condemn last week's attacks.
