On 21 November 1979, Islamist students and locals, incited by Iranian propaganda, stormed the U.S. embassy in Islamabad, Pakistan and burned it down in a coordinated attack. The students were motivated by a speech by Ayatollah Khomeini, disseminated by Iranian radio propaganda, which falsely claimed that the United States was responsible for the terrorist attack on the Masjid al-Haram in Mecca. The embassy attack was planned and led largely by Jamaat-e-Islami-aligned Islamist students at Quaid-i-Azam University, and resulted in several American diplomats temporarily being taken hostage by students who hoped to carry out show trials and executions. Simultaneously, there were also large demonstrations in Karachi, and the American cultural centers in Lahore and Rawalpindi were gutted in similar burnings.
