Four killed in Niger Charlie Hebdo riots
Protesters reported to shout ‘Charlie is Satan - let hell engulf those supporting Charlie’

Four people have been killed in protests turned violent in Niger, after French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo published more cartoon images of the prophet Mohammad a week after Islamist gunmen shot dead 12 people at its offices in Paris.

Protests also erupted in Pakistan and Algeria resulting in several injuries. Elsewhere, peaceful marches were held after Friday prayers in the capital cities of former French colonies Mali, Senegal and Mauritania.

The Niger government said four were killed as police clashed with a crowd that attacked a French cultural centre and set churches ablaze.
