Pakistan blocks cell phones on 'prophet protest day'

None

Pakistan has blocked cell phone service in major cities to prevent terrorists from using phones to detonate bombs during a national day of protest against an anti-Islam film produced in the United States.

 

An Interior Ministry official says the service is blocked in at least 15 cities, including Karachi, Lahore and Islamabad. The service is scheduled to be resumed at 6 pm local time. (AP)
