Scores of people were injured on Saturday in a clash in Bangladesh's capital, Dhaka, between police and hundreds of demonstrators.

In Pakistan, where more than 20 people died on Friday in clashes with police in cities throughout the country, a cabinet minister offered a £60,000 reward for the death of the filmmaker.

The railways minister, Ghulam Ahmad Balor, said he would pay the reward out of his own pocket. He urged the Taliban and al-Qaida to perform the "sacred duty" of helping locate and kill the filmmaker.

The film Innocence of Muslims has sparked violent protests throughout the Muslim world that resulted in the deaths of dozens.

In Bangladesh, police fired teargas and used batons to disperse the stone-throwing protesters who burnt several vehicles.

Dozens of protesters were arrested at the demonstration and inside the nearby National Press Club, where participants took refuge, a Dhaka metropolitan police official said on condition of anonymity in line with police policy. Police and witnesses said scores of people were injured.

The clash erupted when authorities attempted to halt the demonstration, police said. Authorities have banned all protests near the city's main Baitul Mokarram mosque since Friday, when more than 2,000 people marched and burned an effigy of the US president, Barack Obama.

The protesters announced a nationwide general strike on Sunday to protest against the police action.
