The first pictures have emerged of a photographer bleeding from the
chest after being shot in Pakistan as clashes between Charlie Hebdo
protesters and police turned violent.
AFP photographer Adif Hasan was shot as some 200 protesters took to the
streets outside the French consulate in Kuratchi after the magazine
published an image of Prophet Muhammed in its 'survivor' edition.

Hasan was believed to have been shot by protesters and although his
condition was at first thought to be serious, he was now said to be
recovering. The bullet reportedly struck his lung, and passed through
his chest. AFP news director Michele Leridon said that Hassan underwent
surgery and that 'his life does not seem in danger.' AFP is now trying
to find out whether Hassan was targeted or accidentally shot. Two other
people are said to have been injured.
