Around 4,000 people set Kathmandu’s biggest mosque ablaze and smashed up private job recruitment agencies on Wednesday in response to the killing of 12 Nepalese jobseekers in Iraq, witnesses said.

Protestors also pulled furniture and electrical equipment out of the Jama Masjid mosque and torched them on the sidewalk, they said.

Riot police used batons to push the angry protestors back from the mosque, eventually sealing off the area, which is near the Narayanhity Royal Palace, police said. ..

This is what a war on terror looks like. It's coming our way too.
