At least five people have been killed in Afghanistan as protests against European cartoons mocking the Prophet Muhammad swept across the country.
Two people died when protesters turned on the US airbase at Bagram - although the US has had no involvement with the images, which originated in Denmark.
Meanwhile in Somalia, a teenage boy died after protesters attacked police.
Iran announced it was halting trade with Denmark, as protesters pelted the Danish embassy with petrol bombs.
Police fired tear gas in a bid to keep back hundreds of angry demonstrators, some of whom attempted to scale the wall into the embassy compound. Earlier, the Austrian embassy in Tehran came under attack.
The violence follows attacks on Danish embassies in Syria and Lebanon over the weekend. The cartoons were first published in a Danish newspaper.
Tensions continue to escalate around the world:
Norway demands compensation from Syria after its embassy in Damascus was set on fire on Saturday
Some 200 protesters took to the streets in the Afghan capital Kabul
The Turkish and Spanish prime ministers make a joint plea for respect and calm in an article in the International Herald Tribune
In Indonesia, protesters target the Danish and US consulates in Surabaya, the country's second largest city. Protests are also held in the capital, Jakarta
Riot police in the Indian capital, Delhi, fire tear gas and water cannons to disperse hundreds of student protesters
Shops and businesses across Indian-administered Kashmir close after a general strike is called in protest at the drawings
In Thailand, protesters shout "God is great" and stamp on Denmark's flag outside the country's embassy in Bangkok, the Associated Press news agency reports
There are protests again outside the European Union offices in Gaza, following demonstrations there last week.
Jeez
I bet the guy who drew the cartono is shitting himself.

CNN) -- An Iranian newspaper says it is going to hold a competition for cartoons on the Holocaust to test whether the West will apply the same principles of freedom of expression to the Nazi genocide against Jews as it did to the caricatures of the Prophet Mohammed, The Associated Press reports.
The newspaper, called Hamshahri, said the contest would be launched on February 13 and would be co-convened by itself and the House of Caricatures, a Tehran exhibition center for cartoons.
The competition is in response to the publication, mainly in European newspapers, of cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed, something which is forbidden under Muslim belief.
Both the paper and the cartoon center are owned by the Tehran Municipality, which is dominated by allies of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who is well known for his opposition to Israel, AP reports.
Last year Ahmadinejad provoked outcries when he said on separate occasions that Israel should be "wiped out" and the Holocaust was a "myth."
Hamshahri invited foreign cartoonists to enter the competition and said it wanted to see how open the West was to caricatures of the Holocaust.
"Does the West extend freedom of expression to the crimes committed by the United States and Israel, or an event such as the Holocaust? Or is its freedom only for insulting religious sanctities?" Hamshahri wrote, referring to the Prophet Mohammed cartoons, in a short article on its back page.
The Iranian newspaper's plans come as violence sparked by the cartoons shows little sign of abating, with Afghan police killing four protesters on Tuesday.
