Kabul (Reuters) - Two people were killed when violence broke out at an anti-Charlie Hebdo protest in the Afghan capital on Saturday, according to witnesses, but Kabul's police chief said there were no deaths and only two injuries.

Around 500 protesters streamed into an eastern part of the city, chanting "Death to France" and "Death to Infidels", putting residents of nearby international compounds on a state of alert.
