Police in Pakistan have arrested over 170 people in connection with more than 10 mob attacks on KFC outlets, which were sparked by anti-US sentiment and opposition to Israel's war in Gaza. The attacks took place in major cities, including Karachi, Lahore, and Islamabad. One KFC employee was shot and killed in Lahore, and the police are investigating the motive behind the killing. The protests were not officially organized by the Islamist religious party Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP), although a member of the party was among those arrested. Western brands have faced boycotts and protests in Pakistan and other Muslim-majority countries due to Israel's military offensive in Gaza.
