Police in Pakistan are increasing security after Anti-Israel mobs in the country have attacked Kentucky Fried Chicks franchises to protest the United States support for Israel’s war in Gaza.
At least 178 people have been arrested so far in boxes of separate attacks in fingers, including protests, including protests in the port city of southern Karachi, the eastern city of Lahore and the capital of Islamabad.

The agitators armed with sticks and iron rods broke windows, they even set fire to some of the fast food joints.
A KFC employee was shot dead on the outskirts of Lahore by an unknown armed man, police said. There was no protest at that time and the police are investigating whether the murder was politically motivated.
KFC has been seen for a long time as a symbol of the United States in Pakistan, and it is not the first time he is a victim of anti -American feelings and attacks.
The fried chicken stores and other US franchises, such as McDonald’s, were the site of attacks in 2006 by protesters anguished by the publication of cartoons that represent the Islamic Prophet Muhammad.
Western brands have also hit the legs by boycott in Pakistan and other Muslim countries about the Israel War in Gaza.
Earlier this month, religious leaders in Pakistan encouraged the boycott of US brands, but asked people to remain peaceful.
