A KFC restaurant in Pakistan has been razed to the ground by rioters, with the violence spilling out onto the surrounding streets and police reportedly firing tear gas to disperse the crowds.
A British father-of-three who is on holiday in the city said he had been walking to get food with his family when he witnessed the protests unfold.

One photo shows a man with blood pouring from his head in an injury that appears to have been sustained in the chaos. The reason behind the violent scenes is not known, with suggestions that it may have been part of a local dispute as well as claims that it was in protest over the war in Gaza. Pakistan, a Muslim-majority country, has seen calls for the boycott of a number of the company's restaurant chains escalate in recent months as the conflict rages on.
