Wide shot of protest STORYLINE: Thousands of angry Pakistanis protested on Sunday against a United States air strike that killed civilians, chanting "Long live Osama bin Laden!" as anti-American rallies in the country entered their second week. About 5-thousand demonstrators assembled on a dry riverbed in a mountain market town near the site of the January 13 attack. The rally was the latest in a series of protests over the missile strike on the village of Damadola, near the border, which is believed to have targeted, but missed, al-Qaida's No. 2 leader, Ayman al-Zawahri. Pakistani officials believe the strike killed four other top al-Qaida operatives, but also killed at least 13 civilians, including women and children. The assault has sparked friction between Islamabad and Washington and widespread outrage in the Islamic nation of 150 million. But survivors insisted no al-Qaida operatives were anywhere near this remote mountain village when a U.S. missile attack shattered the night and turned a Muslim holiday feast into a fiery scene of destruction. "We condemn this cruel and injustice attack of America on an innocent family. We understand these continuous attacks on the Muslim nations is American terrorism, do you agree with me?", said Abdul Karim, a local villager. Outrage at the United States and at the government of President Gen. Pervez Musharraf for backing Washington's war on terror has reached its highest pitch since the U.S. ousted Afghanistan's Taliban regime after the September 11, 2001, terror attacks in America. Hundreds of al-Qaida and Taliban militants, including bin Laden and al-Zawahri, are believed to be hiding in the rugged mountains along the porous Pakistan-Afghanistan border. Many of the residents are Pashtuns, the same ethnic group as the Taliban.
