Muslim anger flared over a French satirical weekly's latest caricature of the Prophet Muhammad, with four people reported killed and dozens injured at a protest Friday in the West African country of Niger, and violent clashes between demonstrators and police in Pakistan, Jordan and Algeria.


Supporters say the cartoon on the cover of Charlie Hebdo is a defiant expression of free speech following a deadly attack on the publication's Paris office, which killed 12 people on Jan. 7, but many Muslims viewed it as another attack on their religion.
