Niamey (Niger): At least four people were killed and dozens injured in protests over Charlie Hebdo's cartoon depicting the Prophet Mohammed in Niger's second largest city of Zinder, Xinhua reported quoting a senior government official Friday.
Interior Minister Massaoudou Hassoumi said a policeman and three civilians were killed during the demonstrations in the West African nation.
