LAHORE: Police fired tear gas against protesters burning tires outside a US consulate in Pakistan after the release of a CIA contractor who killed two Pakistani men.
The clashes Wednesday in Lahore involved around 200 people. There were small protests in other main cities as well.
Police made several arrests in Lahore and struck other people with batons, according to witnesses.
Raymond Allen Davis was released earlier Wednesday after the United States paid $2.3 million in ''blood money'' to the victims' families, a lawyer for the families has said.
