Via the BBC: More die in Pakistan cartoon fury

Two deaths were in the city of Peshawar where targets not connected to the cartoon row, including a KFC outlet and local businesses were attacked.

[...]

In other developments:

* Hundreds of Muslims burn Danish flags outside the Danish consulate in the Philippines capital, Manila
* Indonesia’s trade association says it will boycott Danish goods as a mark of protest
* Malaysia shuts down a Chinese-language newspaper for two weeks for publishing a photograph that contained one of the cartoons

There doesn’t appear to be an end in sight to these reactions.
