Hundreds of protesters set alight a Kentucky Fried Chicken
restaurant in the northern Lebanese city of Tripoli on Friday, witnesses said,
chanting against the pope's visit to Lebanon and shouting anti-American
slogans.
Locals watching the attack said some people were shouting,
"We don't want the pope" and "No more insults (to Islam)".
The incident came as Pope Benedict began a three-day visit
to Lebanon and as anger over a film which Muslims have said is blasphemous to
Islam spread across the region.
