After a weekend that saw anti-U.S. protests across the Muslim world appear to cool, a fresh batch of violent demonstrations erupted on Monday, this time in Kabul, Afghanistan, where thousands of protesters set cars ablaze and shouted "death to America," NBC News reported. At protests in Pakistan, two demonstrators were reportedly killed in clashes with police trying to quell violence sparked by a low-budget, American-made video denigrating Islam. In Beirut, Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah made a rare appearance at a rally to address thousands. "Prophet of God, we offer ourselves, our blood and our kin for the sake of your dignity and honor," said Nasrallah, who has lived in hiding since Hezbollah's 2006 war with Israel. In Jakarta, hundreds massed outside the U.S. Embassy Monday, as the U.S. Embassy in Kabul was placed on lockdown following violence. Protests took place in Jordan's capital, too, and the U.S. Embassy in Tunisia said it would be closed Tuesday. The latest protests came after two days of reduced violence.
