One man has died in riots in the Pakistani capital, Islamabad, following the killing of an Islamic extremist. Religious students went on the rampage after funeral prayers for Maulana Azam Tariq, a Sunni militant leader who was murdered on Monday.

He was the head of the Sunni militant group Sipah-e-Sahaba and a member of parliament. No group has said it carried out the attack.
