Activists of a Muslim party picketed the American consulate here today and pelted stones at it protesting against a controversial film deemed to be offensive of Islam. Slogan-shouting Tamil Nadu Muslim Munnetra Kazhagam activists used logs besides stones to damage window panes of a structure in the front of the heavily fortified consulate, police said. Scores of TMMK activists were detained, police said. The incident prompted city police to review the situation and step up security for the consulate located on the arterial Anna Salai, where the protest threw traffic out of gear.
