ISLAMABAD: The Pakistan Army has been summoned to protect the red zone and diplomatic enclave from demonstrators protesting against the anti-Islam film here.

Protesters pelted vehicles with stones near a five star hotel located close to the red zone. At least nine policemen have been injured during clashes with protesters. Police have used tear gas and baton charged protesters to disperse them.

The police have also placed containers around the red zone as a measure to restrict the protesters from entering the area and marching towards the diplomatic enclave.
