KARACHI, Pakistan -- Hundreds of youths set fire to a Pizza Hut, two gas stations and a dozen vehicles in Pakistan's biggest city after a funeral for a Shiite Muslim cleric killed in a suicide attack.

Rioters rampaged through a busy commercial area of Karachi a day after a suicide bomber killed cleric Allama Hassan Turabi, his cousin and a police guard.

Karachi police officers fired shots in the air, swung batons and used tear gas in an attempt to control the crowd.

Hours earlier Turabi was buried at a city cemetery after more than 8,000 people, beating their chests with their hands as a sign of grief, packed the city streets for his funeral.

Most of the crowd dispersed peacefully after the ceremony but a gang of youths damaged shops and torched a Pizza Hut, two state-owned gas stations and several vehicles, apparently expressing general anger at the United States and Pakistani governments.
