Mourners shout for revenge over Kabul deaths

Anti-US sentiments spilled over at the funeral on Thursday of a top Harkat-ul-Mujahideen commander killed in US raids on Kabul, with mourners shouting anti-US and anti-Musharraf slogans and calling for revenge.

An agency report said about 2,000 people attended the burial in Karachi of Commander Farooq.

The report said Farooq's body was one of eight that were smuggled across the border back into Pakistan on Wednesday, after the Pakistani authorities had refused to let the bodies back in.

Separate funerals were held for the others.

Meanwhile, fundamentalist clerics in Pakistan have said the 35 killed in Kabul on Monday were among thousands of Pakistanis who have answered calls by the Taleban regime for a jihad against the United States.
