Malaysian Moslems protest strikes

KUALA LUMPUR (AFP): Hundreds of angry Moslem protesters gathered outside the United States Embassy here yesterday to denounce missile attacks against alleged terrorist targets in Afghanistan and Sudan.

The protest, which began after Friday prayers, was organized by the opposition Parti Islam SeMalaysia (PAS), which denounced the U.S. as a terrorist country.

As many as 1,000 protesters headed toward the embassy in central Kuala Lumpur after gathering at a nearby building housing the state-owned Pilgrims Fund Board.

Banners carried by the protesters described the United States as the "King of Satan" and President Bill Clinton as a "sex and war maniac".
